I'd been on a small hike with few of my friends to a place where borders of 3 countries (Germany, Belgium, Netherlands) meet.
En route we had some spare time waiting for a bus. I went around looking for some interesting flower images while I found this bee. I wish I'd waited for the bee to take its front leg away (which is now blocking its eyes). I could not increase DoF to keep the legs sharp - too sad that I did'nt carry my tripod along.
I was almost thinking of discarding the image but the white petals & the yellow OOF areas kept me interested.
Would like to know ur thoughts...
