Very interesting shot. Despite appearances, I hope the subject wasn't actually surrounded by bees. It might have seemed a trifle less staged if she weren't looking directly at the camera. Although I like this shot generally, my initial reaction would be one of desperation or panic, and not desolation, but maybe that's just me.
Attack of the bees lol. Hopeless, perhaps, but desolated, No.
However, the image could do with a few improvements. The pastel colors are a little dull for my taste. Perhaps the subject could have put on a different top. A tighter crop on the face would have been nice to emphasize the hopelessness with her brilliant expression! However, I get the feeling that this was a snap from long ago that you just really wanted to share with us!
I'm guessing you guys are beekeepers or something? I think if this was anyone other than someone who regularly deals with bees, the only picture would be as the result of the shutter being bumped as the camera fell to the ground while the photographer scrambled to get the hell outta there!
I hope you paid her well! Ha! Ha! Not enough money in the world to get me to stand among the bees...birds maybe but no bees.....great job...the look of fear on her face looks very genuine to me....
