Bee Flying

Bee flying

I found it very hard to take this photo, but although it is slightly blurry I still think it is pretty good. To give an idea of the speed they (bees) beat their wings, I took this photo at 1/3200 sec and they still were blurry with motion!

• Perhaps it would be better if the image was centered more on the bee. Raven4x4x 10:14, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • I like it that way because the bee is leaving that bunch of rosemary. What do others think? --Fir0002 12:01, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't mind the fact that the bee isn't centered in the photo, as it enhances the composition. Yet another great one, Fir0002. Phoenix2 16:12, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

• Support. Especially because of the off-centredness. -- user:zanimum
• Support. If you've ever heard of the rule of thirds (aka one of the most basic rules of composition in photography) then you'd know that the bee is exactly where it's supposed to be. -- Elfer
