Here is my version of the classic shot of a bee on a coneflower.

Panasonic DMC-FZ28. 86mm at F/5 for 1/250 sec. ISO 100. Handheld, natural lighting.

Even in the thumbnail the details jump out at me. This is excellent.

Carolyn,

I've seen many nice bee shots such as this one, but one on that fabulous coneflower is exceptional. Great work!

I like the head on POV, the superb detail throughout the coneflower and bee, and the very nice soft BG. The bees wings particularly stand out for me.

Superb comp to show off the coneflower as a beautiful perch for the bumble bee. DOF and plane of focus are absolutely perfect.
