I would love this shot if it weren't squished. I mean, the colors, focus, lighting, and bokeh are all really wonderful, but the compression seriously bothers me.

Is it compressed as an artistic statement?

Lisa's right, Grace. If there was a little more of the thistle on the right side it would have improved the image quite a bit. Bokeh is always a nice addition to macro photos but perhaps not quite this much. If this is all of the flower that you have, one possible approach would have been to rotate the image 90 degrees to the right and then crop it down from the left (as we're now seeing it) to create a monitor-friendly ratio rectangle. Since bees are an acrobatic insect, it would then appear to be a bee sitting on top of a thistle with the light source to the right of the frame. Just a thought.

Happy Trails

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Accidentally uploaded it as a JPEG, instead of a PNG. Fixing that. Thank you for pointing it out.
