I went out for a while this morning, despite the crap weather, as I've totally run out of stuff to put up. And I did come back with a few shots, but will probably only post a couple of them. This one, you'll be relieved to hear, is my least favourite of the two ;-)

Is this classed as photographing someone else's art? ;-)
I'll look forward to seeing the next one ;-)

I really like how you've taken a picture of an ordinary piece of tarmac, and brought it alive by photoshopping a picture of a bee onto it ;-)
comment bydjn1 at 10:42 PM (GMT) on 26 March, 2006
No, it's a real bumble bee ;-)
comment bynuno f at 10:44 PM (GMT) on 26 March, 2006
To tell you the truth, it's not so appealing as the majority of your work, but still it's very colorful and a typical Chromasia shot. Now, I'm curious to see tomorrow's photo. :-)
comment bydjn1 at 10:48 PM (GMT) on 26 March, 2006
nuno: no, it's not stunning, but if I'd put the other one up today I would have had nothing for tomorrow. Besides, as you mention, it is a fairly typical shot so I thought I'd put it up.
hehe freaky - i'm watching lost in translation at the moment, and was singing a tune from it in my head, and just as I clicked on your link I was to the sentance "with your honey dripping... bee-hind" :P
Freaky ;)

Hehe, very nice... Very colourful and I love the texture - nice shot :)

The colors pop nicely.

You know, it shows that someone out there was having a beeutiful day when they did this. You're helping to share their joy!

I feel the buzz!

The asphalt looks like tv fuzz. Cool.
comment byDanielle at 02:55 AM (GMT) on 27 March, 2006
I think it's funny how all us photobloggers seem to run out of stuff to put up and the same time:)
At first glance I thought this was a crazy satellite image. I like the perspective you've chosen. Great image.

Why did I put this image up?
Just bee-cause.
comment byMike Dougan at 05:33 AM (GMT) on 27 March, 2006
Of all your work this has to be the least appealing, the Tarmac looks really distracting and is a bit uncomfortable on my eye's.
comment byNavin Harish at 07:06 AM (GMT) on 27 March, 2006
I guess it paid off going out in the crap weather. I have been watching your site for more than an year now and I see that you have a tendency of saving the best for the last. Everybody has some such tendencies. I personally like to avoid posting my best shots on the weekends as I have the least number of visitors on Saturday and Sunday.

Mike: you've obviously not been far enough back in the archives. Believe me, there are loads worse than this one ;-)
comment by Louise at 08:31 AM (GMT) on 27 March, 2006
I like it a lot, it appeals to the girlie and childish part of me... :) I don't comment often but I look at your work everyday... Very talented...
Reminds me of a joke my girlfriend heard on the radio this morning. A frog and a wasp were listening to a CD together. The frog was asking the wasp if he recognised any of the songs. "How about track 1?" asked the frog as the first song started playing. "No, don't know that one," replied the wasp. "Track 2 then?" The wasp listened as the second track started. "No, not heard that one before either..."
"Oh, sorry," said the frog, realising his mistake, "I'm playing the bee side..."
Yes the tarmac looks too strong. It looks like the black and white TV noise you get when a tv isnt tuned in. But then I guess you can argue it adds something to an average photo.
comment byEllie at 10:51 AM (GMT) on 27 March, 2006
I like the 'grain' that the texture of the surface adds, its a nice extra dimension.

...no more child pics? I love your hk...
comment byMartin at 12:43 PM (GMT) on 27 March, 2006
I like the BIG contrast in this.. Unusual effects.... Thanks David.

David,
I've looked at every image on your site. I love your style and approach to a subject and if I don't like an image I normally never post my comments but there is something (probably the high frequency Black and White of the tarmac) about this image that I really dislike. The bee is OK it's the background to that that is "painfull" (for want of a better explanation).

Had to share that one. Take it easy!
