Me and my shadow

I was trying to take a picture of the bee in the rose, but naturally he took off. It wasn’t until I processed the image that I realized he had left his shadow behind.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

This is so beautiful, the richness of the rose petals and the unexpected shadow of the bee create a marvelous shot. V

Bee-in-flight shots are hard to get and this is a fun one. Love the sense of motion in the wings.

These are the kind op photos that you will always remember. I love the bee flying a way. She gives the photo a great dynamic
