Very welcomed

Comment from Albert Richardson
a lovely flower. the geometric and colorful composition is well balanced. the surprise visitor suddenly pops out! darker sections could stand a bit of shadow enhancement, allowing for more detail and better complimenting their surroundings, much like the opposite greying affect given white areas.

albert,
Thanks a million for your complementary review.
If I'd the time to shine a light up the bees's bum I could have lit up the inside of the flower but I only had a split second to take the picture. & complicated editing is NOT on my list of abilities
Life is too short.
I've taken some more pictures of a different bee at work in the Fuchsia today 25th November...they don't have the sharpest focus but as they were taken through the patio door at full zoom they have come out better than I hoped. I'm going to post a collage of them tomorrow.
Susan.

I see your beautiful everlasting fuchsia flower;
very nice red and....fuchsia natural colors;
sharp focus on the bb wings and upper fuchsia petals;
if the light conditions were adequate, it would have been better to use a very small aperture to get the stamens sharp;

Fred,
Merci beaucoup mille fois for your complementary review on this Bumble Bee.
I got a few more pictures of a Bombus Terrestris busy on the Fuchsia this morning.
