Sandy, this is a wonderful shot of this bee. He looks especially good on this yellow flower, as he is shows up so much better on the pinkish center, than he would have on the petals. Don't know if I've ever noticed pollen stuck in a bee's knees (joints) before!

This is very nice Sandy. Good color balance throughout, and great detail where it needs to bee.

Outstanding, Sandy. Very well composed for the flower and bee, with excellent detail and dof management. Lovely bee/flower image. I think if this were mine (and I wish it was), I would dodge the bee's head and body a bit just to make him a bit brighter, but that falls into the area of personal preference.
