Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas

Now this is not one that I've ever seen...a bee on a water lily! You do find the most unusual things, and it turned out beautifully as well.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Love the colors and contrasts. I'm more than a little partial to bees, also, especially this close to the honey harvest.

I LOVE water lilies! Looks like you caught this at perfect bloom - everything is fresh and clear. What luck to have a bee in the shot, too.

saw this on the front page..

What makes this shot, for me, is the offset shadow in the shape of the petals. that, and the inner glow of this flower.

I'm thinking perhaps that the smaller leaves on the bottom of the frame distract slightly. perhaps a cleaner look might be attained by cloning or darkening them out?

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
