I usually prefer sharp focus for the images I post but I liked the movement of the bee contrasts with how clear and still the nasturtium flower appears.

No - this is perfect! Like walks @ 7 said - it tells the story and as you said, illustrates the movement. Nicely done.

[Clare Gadsby]

yes indeed. works so well. the subdued tones are gorgeous also. you might think of tagging it for this month's theme of movement???

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Love the flower and background. The glimpse of the bee adds something to it.

[Helen Jane]

this does work well - the detail in the flower and the gorgeous soft background with that bee so perfectly placed in the composition.

This is very beautiful... I love the out of focus leaves against the beautifully focused flower and the bee movement adds to the beauty of the image... nice!

Choice of focus made the flower the star of the image.
