I have a pic in there, but I think I have taken better one since.

There now.



But I think one of these may be better.














Any opinions out there?

These are all pretty good. I would go with the eithe of the first two shots. How did you get the bee to look so still when the shot was taken with a relatively long exposure?

Thanks for your reply.
I don't know why the bee looks so still. I think 1/400 is a pretty quick exposure.
The bee was sitting on that flower, I prefocused on it, then when it took off,
it did kind of a loop and went back into my DOF area. I guess 1/400 is fast
enough to stop a bumble bee.

I definitely like #2 the best. I think I'm more attracted to it because there is nothing distracting in the picture... the focus is on the flower alone. Very nice!

Now I feel like shooting some flower pictures.

Thanks Kelly.

I'm leaning toward that one also.

Now for something completely different.
This is the Seinfeld Challenge.


Can you see George, in his parents backyard, trying to cool down on a hot day.
Or would it be Kramer?














Yes, those are my feet. While on vacation when I went for a boat ride, I didn't
think about taking off my shoes and socks. Doh!
