Christian Photographers Community

While driving one of my children to a friend's birthday party recently, I saw giant sunflowers growing in the garden of a nearby house. They were magnificent. I asked permission to photogragh the flowers and spent an hour clicking away with my Panasonic DMC Lumix LZ50 camera. I used the zoom to capture this shot. It hasn't been cropped or digitally altered. The bee was heavily laden with pollen and I was delighted with the shadow on the petals. Hope you enjoy this shot as much as I do.

This is beautiful.  Think of how much we miss just looking at things from our ordinary eye perspective.   Nita

Oh my look at the pollen sacks full of pollen! 

Then there is the shadow of the honeybee below it! 

What artistry!

Beautiful, sunflowers my favorite

Absolutely gorgeous.

Love this photo!

WOW!!! Very impressive!

Very nice shot!  Did you use a tripod or shoot this handheld?  My bees always end up blurred and my flower sharp.  Guess I just don't have the hang of it, yet.  Good job!

Absolutely wonderful.  I came back for a second look!

I love it, just dont get stung! ouch....
     Color was fantastic, I loved the shadow of the Bee as well........

Excellent capture!

I think that the shadow on the lower petals just "makes" this image and the bee is so pin sharp.
