Sunflower field in the McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area. The beetle seemed to reflect the habitat with its yellow coat.

McKee-Beshers WMA is a 2,000-acre tract in a mixture of woodlands, fields, wooded bottomland and managed wetland impoundments (green-tree reservoirs).

Approximately 200 acres of field are managed under an agricultural lease for crop production. The sunflower fields are are planted primarily to attract doves.

Hi Robin,
Great macro-shot, very sharp and nice details of the center part of this sunflower. Bug is a nice extra bonus, added to this nicely composed asymmetric image. Good dark simple frame.

Hej Robin!
Bardzo ladnie wypatrzone. Slonecznik i chrzaszczyk super ostre. Mile sloneczne kolory.
Gratuluje i pozdrawiam - Roma

It is a very lovely composition, and I like very much the moody atmosphere you have managed. Colours are gently saturated, and light describes perfectly and softly every shape. Thanks and regards.
