Very nice. I think the crop is about right. You could take some off the top and the right side, but that would make it more of a bee pic rather than a flower and a bee. The black background doesn't bother me. In fact, it's different, and I like it. Paul On Aug 2, 2005, at 12:04 AM, Christian

Bee in flower, that is... I grabbed this one with my brothers N***n outside the polling station while he was participating in democracy. I suppose that it might be outside the rules, seeing as it was produced with equipment from the dark side, but I figured that violators wouldn't be prosecuted
