From the “Who knew this would look any good” school of flower photography. I mean, who turns an image of a sunflower black and white really? I took an infra-red photo of a dandelion seed head some time ago which had a similar effect and I said at the time I’d do
Back in the garden for some more macro photography and I saw this honey bee on the Echinacea. I got a similar shot of a hoverfly on the Echinacea earlier in the year.
