I love how the flower is illuminated and enveloped by the lighting….beautifully captured. The bee really turns this image into a story. Wonderful image Yves.

Thank you for the comments Debra. Backlight transparency is someting I like tu capture. I make the flower or the butterfly appears so differently.

Heather Mellon

Gorgeous capture. Your patience really paid off on this one.. the backlighting brought out the best in this beautiful lily and I agree with Clifford.. the bee added the perfect finishing touch. So well done, Yves.

Thank you very much for the nice coments Heather. I did not have to go far for that one. On my patio. I locked the focus on the flower and shoot when a bee comes around. At that close range the 70-400 has a depth of field so short that I must have shot 20 to 30 shots to get an acceptable bee.

What a great capture of this awesome flower and the bee is the finishing touch, well worth the time you spent

Thank you Clifford

Description
Backlighted by a bright sun the canna flower express its beauty through the transparency of its petals. If you stay long enough, charmed by the effect, a little bee may comes in to complete the moment.
