I had to try and catch a Bumblebee covered in polen while in flight. C&C welcome

Excellent capture of this busy bee, David. I'd prefer if we could see more of the bee's front and face, but the heavy coating of pollen more than makes up for it. The bee is also well positioned in the frame against the nice background. Excellent image.

Great job catching this bee in flight. I think the subject is the pollen because we can't see the front of the bee. Well done.
