Description Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

~William Shakespeare (Sonnet 18)

nice overall view, but bad focus on the bee and too strong contrast in the middle of the flower...

Even Photoshop couldn't save the bee--in the summer, they move like crazy, and it's impossible to get a clear pic. However, I was going for a blurry bee & focused flower. Thanks for the comment!
