aussiegall says:

Thanks again for your comments, its a bit overwhelming. Dundee you are probably right about the crop, it does make the photo look more balanced. I did consider it, but you see I just love lots of colour and couldnt do it.
Posted 36 months ago. ( permalink )

emblatame (Ron) Still unwell says:

Absolutely amazing. I wondered how you could stop the bee in such precise form without any blurring, then looked at properties and saw the answer - flash! I learn all the time lol.

As for Dundee's suggestion about a crop, absolutely not at all. Place a sheet of paper along the suggested crop line at the botton and study the photo remaining. The right bottom is pulled dowm and that makes it all unbalanced. The photo is then heavy on the right bottom. The whole framing gives perspective for the bee and I think is necessary.

Sorry I won't have any photos up tonight. Still processing but I am so happy with the way the bromeliads will turn out.

digitalramble says:

How do you DO that??? Wow. I also agree with the poster above, no cropping. The present framing highlights the mid-air pose of the bee.

Maybe instead of aussiegal you should be buglady. Heh.

But seriously, I'm in awe of these photos.

i had no idea.

i clicked on this picture with my sweetie and was commenting on how perfect a picture you created.

i didn't even realize it was your picture! what a great shot and congratulations on a spectacular capture. the line straight across of focus, the detail in the bee and the flower, even the clouds in the background are absolutely right on the money.

i saw this in explore but it will be seen in many, many other groups.

thank you again for making me a part of your contact list.

it's probably cheating, but take two...

This is really just a beautiful shot.... the crop is perfect as is. Cropping is always so subjective, but I think your decision makes sense, adds dof, interest, and intense colors. So congrats to you!!!
