Nice one Callie, is this the one we spoke of? The crop is unique it gives it an abstract look. Wonderfull story about our spring you told. For me one of the nicest flowers ever. Thanx for posting.

Very nice, Callie! I like the way you have cropped this image - showing the most impressive part of the flower. I can only imagine what that bee is doing there.
Nice story.

Very good Callie.
Beautiflu colours , great composition and good sharpness.
Very good note.
The colours are something to behold. My only niggle is that I wish the blue 'petal'(?) were in focus along with the bee. Otherwise it's great, I also wish I knew what the complete flower looked like. Good stuff.

Nice one callie, we only get to see this one in a florist shop or a hot house, so it is nice to see it from its native country where it should grow best.
I like the way every thing points inwards to the Bee.
P.s thanks for rembering the leaves.

I made an earlier comment that we tend to ignore the beauty of plants and flowers. I intend to post some as well to try and rectify that. After having said this I notice this beautiful post. I love Strelitzias and their flowers are close to my heart. Thanks for posting - I'm adding it to my theme of Flowers of SA

Being quite poetic on our notes today, are we? ;-) A wonderful springtime catch, Callie, very fresh-looking in its beautiful colors and the added treat of the bee performing some acrobatics on the Strelitzia. Very nice one.

What a lovely shot! The composition is very strong and the shape of the Bird of Paradise is simply elegant. The colors add a "wow" factor and the little bee is just the sweetest touch! Very nicely done.

Very beautiful shot of a very beautiful flower.
This looks really artistic.
It´s a pity the blue part of the plant is out of focus, but the rest is perfect. A nice one.

Is it my imagination, because there are so many pleasantries in the previous posts, but this picture looks really out of focus. In fact the only bit in focus is in the lower right hand corner. The note is long winded too.
Composition is nice - colours are good, shame the focus didn't follow.
Sorry this may seem harsh, but the comments are getting out of hand on TN.

C'est spectaculaire et c'est d'une réelle beauté.
Bravo Callie pour cette splendide vue dont les couleurs et la composition m'ont enchanté dès le premier regard!

elle est vraiment magique cette photo! elle perturbe car on croirait que c'est un dessin géometrique. les couleurs sont très belles, et l'abeille marque son charme!
bravo

I love this photo, Callie. Even without the bee, it would stand on its own. It has a very pleasing flow to it. The flow of lines and the flow of colors are both gentle and easy on the eyes. I personally think this would frame very nicely.
