one of those lucky shots

common, we've all been there, on the prowl and notice something out of the corner of your eye, right time/right place/right settings......bang!
extremely happy with this one as it was effectively a point press shoot and hope, must be doing sommat right eh? (only a very slight crop to frame and touch up in CS6).
thanks for looking.

Great shot, yes, bees are really fast and hard to shoot.

Lovely detail. Looks like you nailed the focus.

Well done. Way to capitalize on the moment!

Thanks mate, more luck than skill I think, I just happened to have the right combination of extention tube on and settings at the tim lol, im sure your time will come.

You should be happy. That's a beautiful capture.

Thanks dan, its my highest commented on picture on flickr at the moment with 58, not a great deal but a 50+ was something I was working on in terms of my photographic ability.
