This picture of the bee is definitely different than the one that I posted previously. This picture mainly captures the fact that the bee stung me right before I started taking pictures of it. In this way, it looks menacing, ready to pounce. This was the kind of image I was intending to take when I captured it. I think it looks this way because it's partially obscured by the leaf, making it feel more mysterious and threatening. It also looks big in relation to the rest of its world, making it feel more powerful. My arm is still swollen from the sting.
This is a really cool picture. I probably would've been too afraid to get this close to the bee, but it looks like you paid the price for it, so I suppose cowardice pays sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThe addition of the green is interesting here. It makes us search harder for your subject.
ReplyDeleteVery cute bug. The texture and rhythm of the leaves is my favorite aspect of this shot.
