1. Thanks!
I have spent more than a few vacations in the North Carolina mountains, and that old church with a view sure brought that back. I love the light shining on the side of the window and that great old wood, and the view, of, course, the view out the window. I really love this picture.

And the bee looks busy, for sure. That is a really nice picture.

2. Good job with the window exposure.
With a little fill flash, you could get some detail out of the walls, if so desired.

I remember when churches did not lock their doors....

5. Calm and serene - glad you visited my beautiful state
and found something worthy. What lens did you shoot the bee with. That's a wonderful photo, the wings are like glass and it looks like you caught it in flight maybe.
Really special!

6. Hey, it's my native state! Charlotte born/bred. In GA for 37 years, however.
The bee was taken with the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro.
Thanks!
