Flowers and Bees

[markgray]

This is my second attempt at capturing bees in the flowers, i tried using the built in flash, but i think the settings are wrong as they were being blown out, i think i worked out the issue, and that is to use a higher F stop, but then that would make the photo more in focus wouldn't it? I would then lose the DoF i have on these ones. Definitely more practice needed, but i think it is an improvement.

All feedback very much appreciated, thanks for looking.

I like them Mark but as you asked for crit I'd have the flower further away from the left hand side in No.2. and I suppose if possible it may be better to get more towards a front view of the bee than the rear, maybe. I do like them all though as they have good shapes and colours and are IMO lovely pictures. Well done

Thank you very much Alan, composition is definitely my weakest point at the moment, I tried to crop these to do the 2/3 logic, but I definitely need to work on it more

I don't want to sound to negative as I do like the pictures, good colour and shape and nice use of bokeh. Overall I think they are good pictures and the comments about shooting the bee more from the front and the composition are just opinions others including you may disagree with
