Excellent, Sandy. I like the dof and the honeybee is a wonderful addition. Great job on the exposure of the yellows.

Beautiful portrait of this flower, a warm sun in a colder season. Sandy I can still see some flower of Jerusalem Artichoke in the river banks in my town.

Exceptional close-up, Sandy! Exposure, DOF and colors are all exceptional and the bee is the icing on the cake. The bright yellow really makes it warm and cheerful also. devil
