bee, i'm expecting you

no question about spring being here. thank you for any comment or critique

Our snow has finally all melted... ;-)

yeah! Friday i wished it were cooler here. the temp almost reached 90. today it is a balmy 80...

During my one week stay in Budapest I could pre-tast the spring time with all the blossoming trees and flowers, temperature being around 69F. Now, back in rainy Helsinki with lowish 45F.

 

Not to forget the essential, your photo: this off-to-the-corner composition appeals me much as the white flowers and the bumblebee do belong "up there" - somehow (kinda airy character belonging to them?), IMHO.

thank you Markku. i think i'd like the temperature here to be somewhere between your 45 F and my 85 F

This is a very intriguing framing choice. If someone had told me to do this I probably would have thought it a bad idea, but seeing it, I really like it. What a nice surprise. A very Asian feel to me.

 

It leaves me wanting a little more sharpness on the bee, but still a great capture.

Phillip, i do try to push the limits on composition. i'm glad you like this. i tried to get the bee to stay still, but he was unco-operative :-)
