Just a bee on a flower... · 04:11 PM

Now here's a bee on a flower:

If norm told you to do it, then it was a good idea!

Honestly, though, I'm not very fond of this particular image ... something to do with the bee, but I'm not quite sure.
Maybee it's just the orientation, maybee it would look better if you'd gone with with a higher ISO and shutter speed, maybee its just too dark?

I tend to agree, somethings not quite right, but I'm not sure what. This was probably the best of the bunch so I posted it, all recommendations are completely welcome

Very nicely done. I do believe there is a current trend to leave photographs slightly underexposed. I am not certain I agree with the trend, however it does retain sharpness and colors.
