About the Image(s)

This image was taken in my backyard. I used my Sony a7RIII with a 90mm macro lens. ISO 3200, F5.6, SS 1/4000. I adjusted the exposure, blacks and highlights and removed some spots in LR and I then took the image into On1 and added a filter. I am always surprised at my settingsā€¦ they
are rather high! I appreciate your comments on how I can improve this image. I am hoping my image size is better than last month's. (Sorry, I am submitting this kind of late. I should have submitted my image before leaving for the PSA conference in Salt Lake City. It was a pleasure meeting Mark Aksoy at the conference!)

I love how the background is blurred and the flower is sharp; color is great and the bee makes it so much more interesting !   Posted: 10/11/2018 00:47:51

Wow, great image. I like the bee. His wing is perfect. The colors are great. The pedals in the bottom look out of focus? No suggestions for improvements.   Posted: 10/20/2018 14:11:25
