Nice design (as always), colors and amazing clarity, Dolores! Purple cone flowers (Echinacea) are one of my favorites and the stripes of the bee contrast so well with the cone's poka-dots. Nice use of DOF. Well done!!

Hi Theresa!! Thank you so much!! I'm delighted and appreciative for your positive remarks! Hi Murry!! I was wondering about you...figured you were on some tropical island getting some rays on vacation!! Glad to hear from you!! Thank you! I chose the cone flower with a bee for the reasons you stated. I like the texture and color contrast also. Many thanks photo friend!! HI Colette! thank you!! You're so very sweet and thoughtful! I appreciate your compliment!! David...Crush your hopes? Nah...never! I just strive for excellence like everyone here. There are sooooo many good images this month, I'm sure I'm not crushing anyone's hopes...but thanks for thinking so highly of the image!

Hi Kelly!! Many thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! I appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity immensely!! Happy day! HI Claudia! Thanks again!! Today, the title came to me instantly when I saw the "spikes" and the bee....for some reason, I thought of Spike Lee!! And thus my title was born in mere seconds. Yesterdays pano was fairly simple but more often, some images...ugh! I'll spend half a day and then I'll pester my husband what he thinks...and I'm still not happy. Let's see. "Urban Palette" was a difficult one for me. I had to be more creative than "Urban ARt", which is what I always see for a title which that subject. It all depends on the pic and my brain!!

Great capture, Dolores! The contrast of the dots and stripes is a big plus, the detail is excellent, the DOF is just right for keeping the focus on the bee and the spikes, the exposure is perfect (not too bright, not too dark) and as always your composition is right on the money! I've got a hunch this one could bee a winner :-)
