This is one of those frames where the flower & bee share the attention equally. Made in June of this year.

Beautiful Howard. So difficult to capture bees in flight and keep them in focus
You also managed to get the bee against the green BG. Bee against half green and half pink BG might not have looked as good as this one.
Fine job !

Nice and sharp, Howard. The bee is well positioned in the frame, and there is just enough separation between the flower and the bee to make this work well.

Yes, that is quite a dramatic flower, but the bee holds its own nicely with its sharpness and position in the frame. Your patience and perseverance in getting these is amazing.

Background works well, sets off the flowers and the bee nicely. Good in flight capture of the bee. Thanks for sharing.
