A Cut Above
Cutleaf teasel with bumblebee16 total reviews
Comment from cleo85
The little Bee looks cute within the white blossoms on top of the spiky thistle-like flower. Your close-up is perfect focused and exposed and adequately treated with mixed media. I enjoy the sharpness of detail. The hairs on the upper body of the bee and the long spikes on top of the Teasel are especially interesting. The black background emphasizes the plant remarkably. The monochromatic amplifies the features of the plant. The Teasel is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

This is a great entry for the Black and White contest. I love the almost silvery look of this.
The sharpness of the details gives a dramatic feel and catches the eye. The visiting bumblebee adds a nice element. The black background adds emphasis to the teasel.
Great work and I wish you all the best in the contest ~ Steve

A beautiful shot that looks particularly good in black and white. The composition is excellent and the detail in the bumblebee is outstanding. Best of luck in the contest.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that amazing plant. Like the very fine detail. Shades and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Lee Ann,
A beautiful & artistic black & white picture of the Bumblebee sucking nectar from the florets on the top of the Cut Leaf Teasel. Beautiful lighting highlighting the minute details of both the Teasel & the Bumblebee. glowing out form it's dark background. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Beautiful setting. Beautiful capture of the flower and bumblebee as well as converting the work into black and white. I imagine it was lovely in color as well.

This is just stunning! The black and white conversion really makes ever element and textile just pop. Of course, when you start with a perfectly clear and finely detailed shot, it had to be that good. I love it. Only a virtual six since I am all out. My best wishes for the contest.

A beautiful composition with this black background and the special white flower with a bumblebee on the top - a wonderful straight viewpoint, absolutely clear and sharp in details, well framed and special attractive content.
The bumblebee makes a huge difference of this picutre as imagining the beautiful flower without him would miss the life power which is coming through to this tiny one - well seen, well reacted and well presented, beast of luck
