Super capture of this lovely blossom and the bee. Not an easy one to get either but so well done.

Thank you Heather. I use to do many shots at the lilly every summer. Just for the pleasure. (and the chalenge)

Debra Plett

Great lighting and detail in this floating beauty. Composed nicely Yves to highlight the bee and the lily.

Thank you for the appreciated comments Debra

Lovely detail on the flower, and the bee tells the story. Well done.

Yves Langlois

Thanks for the appreciated comments Jane. All black or all white subjects are not easy to photograph. For the lilly I try to have the sun produce light and shadow on white petals. So petals are well defined and the flower itself have more volume (look more 3D)
