Excellent close up of this busy little bee working on the lovely flowers. I like the angle you used for this. Lighting and focus excellent showing great detail in the markings of the bee and also the petals of the flowers. Lovely composition. Suzanne

This is a great macro of this insect. The crispness of detail is impressive. Especially the fine hairs on the back and the transparent wings draw the attention of the viewer.The colors of the azalea and the insect look beautifully natural.
The wings indicate that it is not a bee. I think it might be a species of hawk-moth.

A black & gold visitor!
Nice contrast against the pinkish field.

Selective focusing.
Subdued lighting!
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

Good nature shot posted here! Your full and central composition allows us a good look at both your bloom and insect. The image is sharp and well exposed. Sorry I do not know what your insect is either! Nicely done!

I guess-from scanning the other viewer's comments- that it's some subspecies of Hummingbird Moth,right?
Regardless of what it might actually be,Jack,your picture of it perching on these flowers makes for a very attractive image! : )
'Good Show',my friend!
