The two bees really stand out well with this green plant/green bokeh BG.
Like the soft light & color, amazing that both subjects are in so well at F/4.5
A true macro work of art :toast:

Awesome. The simple composition is just right, and the depth of field is beautiful. You have both bees in focus - well done!

Nice image, I have never seen a bee look so clumsy! Looks like he is about to fall off.

an amusing composition with the bee looking like it's hanging on for dear life. The green backdrop is beautiful and lets us focus on the action here

Excellent details all the way around. The background blur make this image a lot more appealing. Good work.
