Been there

[Alan]

I don't take many, 'bee with flower' pics anymore, but I still had the ext tube on the 70-210mm and I liked the way the sunlight shone through the flowers in this one.

Your photos are always good examples of why it's all about the light. I too like the light coming through the petals but find the bright leaves on the right a bit distracting.

Thanks Gabby

Yes, I wasn't sure what to do about the bright leaves.

I tried to remove them without success, and then thought they made the flower and bud stand out better from the B/G.

Happy for anyone to have a play

Very romantic feel. Lovely light as Gabby says.
Like how the bee's a glowing honey colour.
