Delightful image, Yun. One of my year's best in the flora and the macro galleries, IMO. I love the look of the cranesbill, and the bee puts this over the top. Perfect dof, pof, perspective, etc. :toast:

Beautiful look at these cranesbills and the bee. I sure like the emphasis on the left half due to the sharpness, balanced nicely against the moderate softness on the right.

Yun - Lovely take on the Cranesbill, one of my most favourite type of Geranium to shoot, due to the wonderful veins on the petals.

I like it exactly as presented with the right amount of in and out of focus areas, sharp where it needs to be and also that slight cram (or wash) effect in the center of the frame :toast:
