... the Holly bushes in the gardens of Paimpont Abbey are in bloom but, as a sign of the very mild if wet Winter, they are still also covered in berries which normally would have been eaten by the birds over the Winter. The bees, however, are not so reticent as you can see in my Doubletakes album posting today.
That's what gave it away -a hint. So that's why it's subtle and effective. I enquired the other day about a ring flash as I have a new macro lens. But it was rather expensive for my Olympus! I like this out of season shot. @vignouse
@lleo Mine's a Dörr DAF-14 - about £85 from Amazon and it's a true flash, not a LED ring light. I've done a quick & dirty edit in PicMonkey to eliminate most of the reflection!
Now I understand why you enjoyed looking at the photo of my cat, just like your photo she is also Holly.
I love the clarity and colours of these berries. I agree it would make a nice Christmas card.

Gorgeous shot, I am YOUR get-pushed_93 partner this week. How about shooting an action shot, with a fast moving object. Either blurred or panned to get subject in focus and background out of focus.
