Photo Friday - Larger Than LifePosted by drfl on September 25th, 2009
Today, I have a special guest post from my wife! Since she has not immersed herself into the photography world from a technical aspect, it is always refreshing to have her fresh perspectives on what I am doing and additionally, her support has been invaluable. So, here is her take on today’s Photo Friday image.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Derrald’s. I like the detail of the bee, from the sharpness of his wings, to the individual fine hairs of his fuzzy body. I think there is an interesting juxtaposition of the sharply-defined bee and the slightly out of focus thistle. It seems the colors in this picture are very vibrant as well. Normally I think of bees as miniature enemy pilots out to sting me, but viewing this picture, somehow I do not feel threatened at all. - Holly Thomas

Canon 5d Mark II, 50 CM lens, f/7.1, 1/100 sec.
