This is a great photo, bet you had fun setting this up after you got the idea to use that toy truck, and it came out quite well! The bee definitely thinks this was a great idea! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Hahaha I love the out of the box thinking in this photo! And it's just perfect for the competition!
Good focus, the subject is beautifully sharp. Perhaps slightly shallow on the dof with the grass a bit blurry in the foreground, but that's so often the problem with closeups.
Exposure is good, giving lovely natural colours.
And when it comes to composition, who could ask for more when a bee comes uninvited to grace your image and add the finishing touch!
Very good luck in the contest!
Charlotte

This is indeed an original entry for a contest like this, and it is also showing creative thinking. The little red truck looks rather cute loaded with dandelions, and it is standing out well from the background.

Your selective focus is spot on and sharp showing clear and well defined details both in the truck and the dandelions, and the exposure is perfect. I also appreciate the nice and natural colors.

The format and framing works well and the truck is well placed in the picture. Still I think I would have cropped a bit off on the left to get rid of the dead flower. But this is just me being picky.

It is a great looking and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Some creatures can't pass up a photo opp! lol This is. Very clear and colorful photo. The red truck on the green grass stands out and is visually appealing. I like the mini things set in a bigger world. Playing with perspective adds more interest to this photo as well. Good work! ~ Alex

Cindy this is a cool picture of a truck full of dandylion flowers. Great idea. I think the bee knows what he likes and may be dreaming of dandylion wine for the future. So much fun. Ray

    Thank you Brian. I actually had another version that I liked a little better but it didn't have the bee. So it was kind of a toss up decision:)
