Challenge:Flight (Classic Editing) Camera:Nikon D100 Location: Fort Washington State Park, Ft. Washington, PA Date: Sep 28, 2003 Date Uploaded: Sep 28, 2003
The slighting blurring of the bees' wings and the body really help to give it a dynamic feeling of motion and flight. I can't believe the great focus you were able to achieve on the bee. The great depth of field helps make the bee pop out even more from the shot.Nice colors in the flowers. Great details there also.
The composition is good, especially with the bee coming in from the upper-left. The bee is sharp and focused, but the dark background seems to be competing too much and is taking a lot of the glamour away from it. The flowers are blurred somewhat, which is a little on the distracting side as my eyes keep wanting to look down in the lower-right corner.
You've really caught this bee. Good job. I do think the bottom 1/3 could of been cropped out and the bee could of been a bit more in focus. Not sure what all you had to deal with when shooting this.....so giving you the benefit of the doubt...this is very good..and it shows flight.
