Crop the bees on the basil, darken up that third one, and put them in the bee thread!!! Smiling

little seedling...hmmm...I don't know Shrug! nothing really wrong with it, really.
this, now, is just a matter of my weird taste--sometimes having relatively 'more' of the thing in the foreground out of focus bugs me--I try (try) to focus on the front of the subject more often than not because if the thing fades away in the background out of focus it doesn't bug me--but that's just me, really. (I tend to take a lot of pictures trying different angles and points of focus because I don't always notice what bugs me later in a picture while I'm taking the picture, although my keeper percentage is improving with practice) So, I guess my suggestion here is if you think that lower leaf looks like a big fuzzy tongue sticking out at you, then try some different angles and points of focus.

The last three are awesome--save for looking a little overexposed on my monitor-- more so the lycoris I suppose
My fave is the one in the middle--what is that?
I might see a neat crop in the third
