This shot of a tree bumblebee on a geranium was taken some 2 seconds after my previous post.

Another lovely bee catch, Ian. Beautiful colors and background. I slightly prefer this one than your previous post. There is more detail and I like the climbing pose.

I like them both, Ian. Really hard to pick between them. Very pretty floral image, and the position, pose, size and detail in the bee are excellent. :toast:

Your focus and dof are great here, Ian. The climbing action that's implied works very well.

I like this version best Ian.
More of the bee's sharp, and it's a 'classic' POV/comp that will have better or 'universal' appeal IMO.
Well done :toast:
