... for want of a better title.
Bit of a quiet day so I thought I would go for a wander around and take some non-PJ type shots. Spring is coming.
Comments and critique always welcome. Hope you enjoy.... more to follow later on....
cheers

Mark
The colours are just stunning
and that is on a work monitor. The green(?) lilac and yellow work well together. Not a bad work environment for the bee either as I look at the grey walls I am confined in. Give us some more info ...What kind of macro lens?

How about "Bee stings flower" as a title.
I like your photograph, especially the colours.
Please pardon my ignorance but what does "non-PJ" mean?
Cheers

Photo journalist, either that or he's shooting without his pijamas on.

This is great Mark. Colours of the flower are very vibrant and the bee is crisp as. How much of a crop from the original is this?

Brilliant!
To me, well on my monitor anyway, the bee looks slightly out of focus but thats just being very picky.
I love the colours!
Great stuff.

Great photo Mark. The colours are sensational. Almost like the lilac centre is coming out of fire.

love the colors and clarity, but for some reason the composition and/or angle makes me dizzy. . just doesn't feel natural

robboh: cropped about 50% off....
jamie: the bee is slightly out of focus... I concentrated mainly on the middle of the flower..
wendellt: it is a common water lilly....

Hmm. Id never bothered trying to do any macro-type stuff with either the kit lens or the 70-200VR as I had thought that Id have to crop it majorly to get anything decent. This changes my mind a bit, there is still enough in a 50% crop to get a reasonable 6x4 print. Thanks.

If you rotate it 90 degrees right it gives another feel to the image, Netmagi.
