Not had much luck lately with insect shots so this is one from the archives I've just worked on, A white-tailed bumblebee which, as I remember, spent quite some time of this rudbeckia.

Great comp with the flower perch very 'accomodating". I like the way its petals are pulled back, creating a space for the bee here Ian.
Great exposure, details, & colors, it's a most pleasing bee.. 'keeper'
Well done!

Hi Ian,
You have a lot of color and sharpness in this image. The square crop and off center bee works for this composition...................Jim

Good exposure and handling of the yellow color, Ian. Like the composition and the square crop.

Excellent, Ian. I like the comp, the bee's position in the frame and on the flower, the colors, and the excellent detail in the bee and flower center.
