~ Beauty and the Bee ~ Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Flower's
It's only an ordinary wild flower, not a famous like orchid, rose, tulip or plumeria. Usually call as Batavia flower, there have only two colours from this species, the other colour is pink. The actual size of Batavia it's only about 2cm or 1 inch, the flower will blossom if there much sunshine but after the sunset the flowers will fold back, it's really an unique character.
Not a special one but i like this kind of flower, everyday i see the flowers grow and blossom along the year.

The picture :
It's always interesting to see the bee perchs on the flower, i call it 'beauty and the bee'. I have some picture with the bee, another photo posted as ws.

hope you will enjoy the pictures, thanks

Hello Daniel,
I don't think beauty is in the fame...
This is a lovely flower, delicate and in attractive colours..!
Close-up work is well done, maybe the bee could have better sharpness...
Well framed subject!
Greetings,

Hi Daniel.

Lovely colours, lively actions, well imaged, and presented. The rich beauty of the flowers and the flying bee creates a good rhythm in frame, a more pleasant and lovely feel. Who doesn't love flowers?

Congrats, Daniel..

A great morning waits you.. :)

Hello Daniël,

You chose a excellent and contrasted frame, the black frame care for the extra contrast against the red flowers.
Maybe the bee a little bit blur, but it's very difficult a bee photography.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Daniel,
Cute title and excellent color in the bright flowers. Although it lacks the perfect focus of your plumeria shot, its not bad. HLJ, Pat

Hello Daniel
A beautiful flower & no doubt I love it with the bee. Difficult to capture the fast insect, but well done! Focussing a bit off, u should have focussed on the flower on which the bee is hovering over rather than the ones on the left...no big deal, I know the difficulty in capturing this fast insect
