The Honey Bee's nice & sharp, well composed Yun.
Great plane of focus to get so much of the willow flowers in at f/6.3 too.
Nicely managed exposure in this light, well done!

Hi Yun,
Looks pretty good. The bee is very sharp and most of the willow flowers are in the plane of focus.........................Jim

Classic bee in flight photo, Yun. The bee is very well positioned and captured with excellent detail. I like the motion blur in the wings. For this presentation, my only suggestion would be to crop a bit more off the left and/or clone out the cut off bud on the far left. Very minor, of course, but I do like this a bit better without that partial bud.

Willow catkins are always fun and challenging. You've done very well here, Yun, especially with the nicely sharp bee and it's load of pollen.

This is very nice! I love the backlighting and the motion blur in the wings.
