Honeybee Part 2

Next, I added a second bee to the upper right to balance the subject. I chose another bee to continue my use of the bee shape. Notice how I continued the S curve that starts with the first bee. I want to move the viewers eye through the picture  and logically bees behave this way. I added the stamen to echo the shape of the wings. This suggested a tulip.

My next thought is how to suggest a tulip shape. I want to use diagonal lines to suggest the motion of bees.

I decide that the direction of the light is straight onto the picture  because I want to leave the bees wings white and the edges of the curled in petals will be lighter. I darken the value of the center of the flower to add depth.
