Bees on Thyme

I have had trouble finding the time and suitable subjects to shoot the past couple of weeks. This afternoon I had 1/2 hour to just sit near my flowering thyme and watch some other workers going about their work. The following shots are the result.

For that shot I had a cream coloured pot in the background, so the only processing was to use the Photoshop patch tool to remove a couple of shadows and then I added the vignette.

Nice job sharp & crisp.

Agreed. All perfect.

I dig this set and favour shot 2 - well done!

All three are excellently executed, but my vote goes for #1. Love the short dof used and the comp with the flowers in the background showing more of the Bees element in which it relies on, for survival.

Thanks you all for you kind comments
