Bee on flowers

[Civchic]

I haven't had the camera out for birds and wildlife in a few weeks! Having at work is useless lately, there's no wild places close by and high noon in July is a terrible time to take pictures of birds. The suburban parks and ponds have nothing but buzzing katydids and sleepy sparrows.

Here's a shot I got in the butterfly garden at the Strong Museum in Rochester. Cell phone pic, but I like it. I've been trying lately to work hard on my composition and framing - and the cell phone helps with that as you really have to work at it to get a good image. The old "the best camera is the one you have" adage.

It is a nice photo . I would love to see the photo cropped to the point of the one flower and Bee filling the frame . Another old adage is ,"If your photo isn't good enough ,You're not close enough ". The photo may not hold up, to be cropped that much ,but it may give you a different idea for the next lunch outing . ? As it is now I'm not sure if the Bee is the intended subject ,or if the garden is and the Bee just happened to be there . Just my thoughts on the photo ,You're mileage may very .

I'm going to say too wide and underexposed.

You mentioned you were working on your composition? Well you certainly did good on this one.
