fiddling with my camera on a fast shutter speed and ended up with todays and tomorrows shots
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

I like the composition - the flower leads me through the frame to the bee. Nice capture.

Lovely, and what is that beautiful purplish plant/flower: lilac or some sort of fiddle (not Anthony's kind ;)

OH this is a very nice image. My 8 year old discovered yesterday that you could pet the back of a bee if it were occupied with a flower. UGH...I was not happy with his discovery but he certainly was!

What is more fun than fiddling around with a camera? Nice shot!

Superbly captured. Would have perhaps liked more of the image in focus, but I think that the wide aperture is just a function of the high shutter speed you selected. Maybe if the ISO was a bit higher?

@dobbino: thanks these two are the photos I was talking about so I appreciate that fed back
Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa
Great capture of the bee movement. Agree with Dobino on a higher ISO.

The light on the bee, and the dark background are winners, perhaps a tad sharper ;)
