Can't wait to get a macro lens.C&C please

Oh yeah!

I like it a LOT.

Very nice colors throughout. The bee holds my interest - I don't even mind that she is dead center, which I usually is a photographic scratch-on-a-chalkboard to me.

The only thing I wish was that the center flower was not blown. Perchance you shot raw? You could reprocess and find out of there is any data in the flower that you could bring out. Then just blend it into this shot.

Still, be proud.

Hey radtech, Big Thanks for the nice words. Bee's are fast and I was standing lookin up this tree. I shot lots (but not RAW)of pics but this had the best bee. Glad you like it. I do too

Great shot, I love the colours, the only thing thats leading my eye from the bee are the flowers in the bottom right, maybe crop it a little.
You right though bees are hard to photograph, at least from my experience. I'm sure my family and neigbours all think I'm mad when summer comes and i'm sneaking up on the rhododendron bush

I'm sure the term 'Busy as a Bee' has its origin here....

Nice shot. The flowers grab your attention and direct you to the bee in the center. I really like the DOF in back and the blue background. It would be nice if the center flower was a bit more in focus. Very nice work.

Hi windshadow, you are funny My neighbors and everyone else for that matter think I'm strange too, I always have my camera pointing at something. I can see them watching me and probly wondering "what is she doing now". It's fun to give people something to talk about.Yah? THANKS for the nice comments on the pic.

Hope you don't mind! I'm having fun playing with other people's images tonight!

Trying to follow the comments of the smart people posting above. I may have softened your bee a little too much. It's hard with such a small sample!

Hey jbkalla, knock yourself out with playing with the pic. I kinda like the crop, it takes away that annoying blur in the foreground.
