    I realise this may not be everyone's cup of tea but I thought it looked rather different, almost like a scene on the wetlands of the Okavango in miniature.

    Like light, details and composition of the frame including flying insect. Well done.

    Hi Jon, I like this especially the reflection of the bee.

    Hi Jon, I like your thinking here and the POV on this one, but for me, the OOF shapes and tones within the environment are just too competing with the main subject and therefore it's not working as well as previous postings. Although I might bring a bit more tonal depth to the reflection area and darken it via a Curves or dark luminosity masking layer. I do like the addition of the flying insect.

    Not too sure about that, having been there recently Jon .
