Finally a bee!

[queenbee288]

Every since my 100mm macro came about 2 weeks ago, I have been trying to get a good macro of a bumblebee. The windy conditions here lately have made it nearly impossible.

Finally, I got one that I think is halfway decent. Comments and suggestions welcome. Macro is new to me and I have a lot to learn.

Awesome! It is truly difficult to catch those little bugs in focus, much less frame it so well. Congrats!

Nice shot. It would be great without the motion blur. Love the color and composition.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I will keep practicing and hopefully someday be able to match some of the great macros I see here.
