Bloom and bee

Since three days I am trying to take shots of this interesting plants' bloom of tiny flowers. Only today light is acceptable. This is with a bonus of a bee. To be continued...

230mm, f16, 1/400, ISO 400, -1EV, P mode, Nikon D3000, Tamron 70-300, macro mode, handheld

What means 230mm in the exif info? With the info of Nikon D3000 it means 35mm equivalent focus lenght of this shot is 345mm. (Crop factor of D3000: 1.5 x Focal Length: 230) Nearly 7x of 'normal' focus. So with this magnification no one can expect 'great' DOF, physically it's impossible. You should judge this photo by this values. I gave Exif info to help friends understand the conditions better.

Lovely photo. It's good you have flowers like this in winter. I am afraid of bees, but not when they are in a picture.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Tanju - I like the beetle on the flowers to the left as well as the bee. A bright, sunny scene of flowers and insects. Well done! Thad
