From my front door 35 steps N, 6 steps W, 6 steps SSE and I was jammed into this Diosma bush and surrounded by a cloud of native bees (non-stingers) which hover and flit about very fast, alighting on flowers only briefly before taking off again. This one stayed still long enough to be photographed.

They may not be stinging bees but I wouldn't want to anger one of them. Love the shallow depth of field. |

So still. Greens are a little whacked, wish the purples were more present |

You are a brave soul to get close to a bee, so you deserve one extra point just for that. lol Pretty flowers. Your composition is well executed. I like the way my eye is first on the flowers but then follows those flowers right down to the bee. Good work. |
