Hello Ulla,

Very beautiful composition. Very good POV and DOF. Excellent sharpness. Light and colours are superb. It seems that the bee is quite small compared to the size of the crocus.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hello Ulla,
A picture full of spring-light. Something very simple, but touching. My grandfather used to have bees and he explained us kids how they make honey and learned us respect towards nature. Your picture brings all these memories back.
Thanks and a sunny day

This is a sharp and to the point exposure Ulla, and a beautiful composition in rich colors my friend. That is surely a happy bee, with its pollen baskets almost full with fresh pollen. TFS and cheers,

Hi Ulla,

Lovely shot, full of great color and light.

Hi Ulla!

A very beautiful picture combined with a highly instructive note: that's what makes postings interesting!

The crocus and the bee are superb. Both also remind me what happens right now in my own garden: the arrival of spring!

Thank you for this!

Kind regards

You have that gentle, delicate touch which it seems is your signature in imagery. A fine short succinct lesson of the honey bee which is all important around the wolrld..without it we would surely starve...Very colourful and sharp!

Hi Ulla,

A wonderful "Welcome Sweet Springtime" shot. Even we don't have bees yet. The bee picked the perfect flower to pose on - the violet and orange are beautiful. Great details on the bee and a really nice picture.

Hi Ulla.
I have grown dumb for an instant with delight. Now I can already something say.
It is more than wonderful. It is more that outstanding. It is divinely. I love all ¬– subject (it is fantastic of beauty), DOF (its fantastic of wideness), details and sharpness (they are terrific), lights and of course, vibrant colours. My congratulations and thanks a lot.
Alexei.

Hej Ulla,
please remove this at once, the spring can't be in skåne already. ;-)) I'm envious ;-)
The picture is crisp and clear with beautiful colours.
Well composed with very good sharpness and fine details.
Well done.

Häruppe är det återgång till gråväder men det är ganska varmt,
och snödropparna har varit utslagna i en vecka nu, men inga insekter har synts till än.
Mvh

Hi Ulla,
Your picture reminds me of a similar shot I posted many days ago. But this shot is much better. Outstanding shot with immaculate sharpness and lovely colours. Very charming flower and the bee is having a fabulous time definitely. Superb use of natural lighting and perfectly exposed image. The DOF is great and isolates the subjects well from the darkish BG. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Ulla, I am very impressed with the detail you have picked up on this bee, and the flower it's on. The texture on both is extremely sharp (but not oversharpened). The colours too are very good. Excellent work.

Thanks, John

Hello Ulla!
Another spring picture with another spring creatures. eautiful colours, sharpness and contrast (violet-orange mosaic is simply great!). And of course a bee! When the spring will come to Lodz??? :( Here it is all the time below +5C and I start to believe (especially after watching pictures from Sweden!) that there is some kind of "black hole" here in my region! ;) And more seriously: lovely presentation with very good note!
Friendly yours,
Radomir

PS. In 2-3 days I am going to the north-eastern part of Poland, maybe - because of shorter distance to Sweden - I will find a spring finally! ;)

Hola Ulla, unos dias ya sin visitar tu galería y al ver esta magnífica fotografía no he podido resistirme. La gran profundidad conseguida deja ver perfectamente ese pequeño mundo que has creado. El enfoque es exquisito, la luz buena y los colores muy bien plasmados.
Una gran fotografía.
