On a side note. Most of the time, when someone slaps one of those lame film statements on me like “Film, oh ya, I remember that stuff, heh, heh,” it is a sure sign that their work really sucks. Like really sucks. Like it has unicorns in it and the painter tool and shots of their kids with purple fog around the edges.

Excellent overall. Good DOF, composition angle, lighting, and saturation.

Pretty cool. I notice in most of your shots, there are bees. Where are you located to find them in such abundance?
