Giant golden bees, a photo from Victoria, Est

Photographer's Note

These bees on the side of the Eureka Tower in Melbourne are about 2 metres long. It's an intriguing sculpture recently added to the building. That might be the queen bee at the top.

Taken with a digital camera that did not have a polariser. I increased the saturation a little to give a similar effect to having a polariser.

Hi Vincent,
Very good shoot with a lot of shapes correctly disposed! The sky is beautiful and the pov is the best. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Vincent
What a sculpture ?
It's brilliant. I'm going to have to add this to the description of things to see in Melbourne which I give to my clients.
Your framing is excellent and I like the deep blue sky and the sharpness.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Vincent, As I worked in Soutgate I have seen these bees often and tried to frame an image in my mind, without getting one that I liked. Time of day worked well for you here, with the bees in the box lit up. cheers, Steve

Hi Vincent,

I like the framing. A composition with straight lines would not have worked here so I think your camera titlt has worked very well. It'll be interested to find out what the philosophy behind the bees is.

Cheers
