Hi Pablo

A lovely composition with good, strong colour. The shallow DOF works very well. I also like the way you have made a diagonal across the image with the flower heads, making bands of colour.

Lovely flowers and pollen covered bumble bee. POV and composition are great. Perfect exposure and well saturated colors. Appropriate blurred background. Very well done.

Oh good - more beautiful yellow flowers. What a wonderful color! Great composition with the fat little bumble bee off center a bit. And of course, as you have probably realized, I LOVE the color!! Great light on a great yellow.

bonjour pablo
le bourdon n'est pas un sujet facile car il ne fait que de bouger,ici la photo est assez nette et tres colorée.la profondeur de champ est bonne et le BG bien flou.

Hi Pablo.
What an interesting subject and cute yellow line. The bumblebee decorates this construction excellently. I like lovely colour palette, excellent sharpness of the insect and flowers and terrific BG. Last one is colored, blurred/detailed and illuminated greatly. Composition of the shot is its key point too. Bravo and TFS.

Hi Pablo,
I tried to capture a bumblebee as well last weekend. But I failed. You on the otherhand did it perfectly. A great moment captured, with stunning details and wonderful bright colors. I like the diagonal composition and the shallow DOF.

This bumble bee looks as though he has been eating too much fast food. I understand science does not know how they fly. Aerodynamically it doesn't add up. Yet this one was slow enough on this day to visit your world of dandelions. Fine compliment to the subject...

Pablo,
It's not only "Pollen Time" but it's "our" time to click away images. The Summers are short. We have to make HAY while the sun shines.
Another GREAT one.
How did you make that lovely DIAGONAL?
AMAZING work.
Best and friendly regards,
Mario.

Are those Hawkweed flowers, Pablo?
Anyway, the bumblebee, obviously, is having a good time browsing around for pollen on them.
A well composed shot with the yellow colour lending a great charm to the image.
TFS and regards.

Hi Pablo, you're one of the few people I've seen that works so hard to make the Dandelion look good. Embellishing it with this Bumblebee helps. The composition with the bee on the flowers works well with great contrasting colours, and good detail on the bee and flowers.

Thanks, John

...just spent time outside shooting bees on my lupies - hard to get them sitting still long enough to allow the camera to 'think'. Appreciate the details here. Nice colors, strong design with the diagonal alignment of the dandelions.
Cheers
