Thistle and the Bee

In viewing Joe Svelnys' post Motion: Butterflies it reminded me that I captured the same theme last week while hiking the Steens Mountain Wilderness Area in Oregon.

This photograph was taken with a RF 15-35mm at 24mm to capture the wide open vista, however when reviewing after I got home I like the heavy crop better.

Original out of camera jpeg. I did not even see the bee until editing.

The crop works so much better Dean. I often find lucky accidents such as these when blowing up images, I discovered a deer I hadn't noticed grazing in a landscape shot recently - all part of the fun in photography.
