What makes this image interesting to me, beyond the fact that I like bees and flowers, is the bokeh. I especially like the receding diagonals of the brown stems, and the way they create kind of ceiling for the frame, and the well out of focus flower head in the lower left corner that echoes the slope of the daisies. Even the two strands of barbed wire turn to eye-leading graphical elements rather than distractions when defocused as much as they are. And I love the contrast between the smooth background and the wedge of well focused yellow and green that fills the right of the frame. I wish I could say I carefully planned the shot that way, but honestly, I was attempting to catch and frame the feeding bee, and the rest of it just fell into place…with a bit of a compositional crop from the right to get the bee off the static center of the frame.
