A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

A wonderful capture. Makes me think about a spoiled pet in lots of fuzzy pillows. I am sure the bee feels like that. :-D

That's odd, I thought fuzzy wuzzy was a bear. Excellent macro, with beautiful colors and textures, Melinda! Have fun at NASCAR.

Look at those eyes...at least two of them! The compound eyes of bees always remind me of Ray Ban sunglasses and their simple eyes just look like little beads that have been nicely polished. I love the details in this and I have to say that you do insect/Macro photography quite well...you're a natural at it. I love the colors, especially those fuzzy lavender-ish flower-whatchamacallits. The DOF really makes this pop as that background is just indistinct enough to really make the foreground pop, but it's not a boring, indistinct background...there's a wonderful color play taking place especially with the darker areas giving the green a bit more depth. This is exceptionally nice. Plus it's got a bee in it; that can only be a plus.
