 Most will think the order is the Water Lily being in the center and the reflection below in the water, but the actual balance with everything in it's correct place IS the Dichotomy of a Bee's flight and the fact that it really shouldn't be able to fly, yet does. That is what is in it's correct place, and in order - an amazement in nature.

Gee - a flower photo shoehorned into a challenge....never seen that before. Seriously - we should save the flower shots for the flower or nature challenges. I hate when people add a title to make you think that they visualized this photo as being for this challenge beforehand. It is obvious that you just picked a photo you took this week and it has nothing to do with the theme at all. Wastes voter time.


One should never hate, "Thatchickoverthere". Really does terrible things to the universe. Try instead, to see the view from another's POV. Put someone else's shoes on for a bit. Con-structive works better than de-structive. What do you have left if everything is destructed? Chaos I'm afraid.

A lovely photo with excellent DOF and reflection but I think I would prefer it withouth the bee as it appears out of focus and becomes a distracting element for me. Too slow a shutter speed?
