Nice bee.. Bees are so hard to shoot.

Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point..

Good capture. Not sure if it is a honey bee though - certainly a bee.
Only critique would be the angle of the bug - harder to get a good looking shot if the bug is facing slightly away from you (I realise there may not have been anything you could do about this)

Greetings,
Ya, I wish I could ask the bee to turn its body three quarter to its right, just like my human models, too bad, I can't speak their lingo and it doesn't understand me too.:lol:. This is really a very challenging type of photography.

Anyway, thanks for leaving your comments, I always think your macrophotography are excellent, and provides me a lot of inspiration. Enjoy...
