POTW: Ross Baxter


This week's photo of the week comes from Ross Baxter. Ross was on a trip in Central America, and after an hour's boat ride down a river in Belize, he stepped off to find these beautiful lilies floating in the water. After getting a few photos of the flowers, he noticed one of them had these two bees on top, and quickly snapped a few frames before they flew away.

This is a shot that is both technically and aesthetically superb, as it's a basic example of utilizing the rule of 3rds in photography. Ross also remembered to close down the aperture a bit, in order to fully utilize the sharpness that his lens could provide.

Good eye, Ross!
