Honey-Honey, a photo from Karnataka, South

Photographer's Note

On the way to Belur and Halebid, we come across beautiful sunflower fields. Stopped by to take pictures of these beautiful flowers when I realized there were bees hovering around few big flowers.

Shot this picture focusing on the bee that was already on the sunflower...but much to my surprise, I had captured the bee which was flying towards it.

Hi Archana.

Superb moment!!! The bee "working". I like it. Very strange.

Furthermore, the colors and DOF is really lovely.

Regards, Oscar

Hi Archana
That's an amazing and stunning image.
The bee hovering around the gigantic sunflower and could make up its mind where to honey!!!
With part of the sunflower's petal being cropped, I found this framing very nicely executed.
Cool image, Archana.
Well done.

Hi Archana
excellent timing ... and very good study you are showing here .. I wish that the sky was a bit more bluish ... but that would be too much of nitpicking .. maybe you should mention in the title of the photo that there is a bee in this photo too ... that would have been good to invoke people's interest much more ... as the bee is hardly noticeable
anyways I am happy that i clicked on the photo
tfs .. regards ... sarju

I missed the bee! This is really superb! The perspective is amazing, and I love the twisted petals of the sunflower. Super clarity here, and I love the depth of field.
