Best Bee photograph I have seen for a long time. Beautiful colors. Perfect lighting and exposure. Tack sharp focus and great depth of field. Just a wonderful perfect shot. Well done in every way.

I love it! Marco photography can be a real challenge and you have nailed it with this image! Sharp details, excellent lighting and the addition of the vignette was a great choice. It gives the perspective of looking through a magnifying glass. Nice job!

Really nicely detailed photograph of this bee with really nice colours. Focus is spot on with nice effects for the border.

Thanks for sharing

You did an amazing job. There is nothing you can't see on this bee. I have taken pictures of bees and they are hard to capture but out of your patients you produced an amazing photo. the lighting, color, dof and composition is wonderful. Great job.

This is an excellent shot. YOu should be proud. Very well focused and all the details (gross) show nicely. Insects.. ugh... but a stunning shot. Well composed also.

Wow!!! It could almost fly off the page it is so real! You have outdone yourself on this one! Inspires me to keep on trying to improve my own macro work! This is utterly fantastic! It deserves a 10! I have never seen a bee so closely nor so detailed! Impressive work! Thank you for sharing, and thank you for your wonderful notes. Look forward to all your other images you took on your trip!

What a wonderful macro. You certainly have done your homework and practice as this image is excellent and I certainly have no suggestions for improvement.

Your focus is incredibly sharp. I love the detail in the bee's wings, body and especially the golden hair. You captured him resting in a perfect location, resting on a small piece of greenery, the perfect compositional complement to the placement of the bee.

And you do such a great job with vignettes. This works very well here, further highlighting the subject.

So very well done.
