Pollen encrusted stamen's
The bee's loved going on these flowers today(sorry i dont know the name of the flowers, i'll find out).

I went for a shallower DOF to show the stamen heads more.

20D
EF100 2.8 macro
Tri-pod
Lastolite sun reflector(silver side)
ISO 100
1/100 @ f7.1
EV +1/3

C & C welcome

Thanks for looking :toast:
