Hallo Nick,
The first honeybees arrived from England in 1822, aboard a ship called the “Isabella” and adapted to Indian conditions. Later honeybees arrived from Italy, Yugoslavia, and North America. The honeybee is one of the most amazing creatures in the insect world.....;) thanks for sharing,riny

Grandma's Candy..
Good exposure photographed the shadow.
I do not understand why the loss of focus on the right side...

Great little find here Nick, I love all the colours here. Superb composition, I really like how the colours are reflecting into the dark table. Nick I am not sure what you think is wrong with this shot I think there is nothing wrong with it at all, in fact it is actually very good all round

They are indeed amazing, Riny. I must have a special sympathy for them since my grandfather was beekeeper.
Anyway, I hope the image itself was OK too.
Cheers!

My DoF was not enough, Marcio. The jars on the right were nearer than the others since the whole formation was like the surface of the cylinder. And I made the mistake to not check with real working aperture. Thanks a lot for mentioning this since it is quite important here!
Cheers!

Thanks a lot Dave!
The loss of focus at the right is a problem, though, as Marcio said.

Thanks a lot for the nice detailed comment, Dan!
One thing that is wrong was brought into my attention by Marcio, andthis is the loss of focus to the right. Another thing might be the weak perspective and the "unfinished business" at the edges of the image.
Thanks heavens those people are still on the marketplace of Lucerne and so I'll be trying some more shots of that.
Cheers!

I wouldn't call it lack of focus, more of depth of field, and on top of that I also wouldn't call it something wrong, if you had focused on this right then the fall off would have been on the left instead. Actaully I think the fall off in the begining here works well, as it actually gives the viewer more of a feeling of depth more sort of 3d and makes the scene appear bigger because of that

Now I have read the other comments you mention, I see you have been talking about DOF, this of all depends on what you want from the image as per my previous post. If I was to be super critical I would say only really to move one row of jars from the shot so the bright blown out jar at the top right is removed so the lighting is even over the entire frame

Thanks a lot for the good idea, Dan! Indeed a bettering of the image to avoid that highlight on the top right. I order to not lose the jars one could also burn a but the highlights there. (Attachment.) But the main part of the idea is absolutely right, be it to crop or to burn. It is that that highlight is a deviation, a "false note" in the concert.
About the loss of focus... it is too little to support depth, and especially since the image has a "flat" perspective. And it is too much to support the clarity and contours of the colored jars. My intention was to catch the crispy clear image sof all of them, and as such it didn't work perfectly - this *has* to be said.
For a more strong perspective that (perhaps) allows also a partial focus, I whould have chosen some other angle. I guess that I would go for hyperfocusing in such acase, since this is the very best way to enhance the sense for depth, but a more selctive focus would be also thinkable.
Thanks a lot again for the very nice idea!

Burned the highlight at the top right as a variation of Dan's suggestion |

Really? I thought it was some kind of expression like "Alas!" or "Gee!" or something. Unfortunately I never heard of that guy. Must be a newer invention, I guess. Anyway, I hope that he wouldn't mind the loss of focus at the right which makes this one not as good as it could have been.
Cheers!
