This is a amazing shot. I've tried to take macro photos of bees myself and its definitely not easy.
Great focus and detail
well done

Welcome back!! Very good lighting to make the bee stand out. Excellent details and nice presentation. It looks like a tab bit of too much contrast.

Yes, it is more difficult, especially if you are using a non-micro (or macro if you prefer - Nikon calls them micro lenses) lens. And will not get that close to a bee (allergic to all insect bites).

An excellent picture good focus tone and depth well balanced and shows good clarity you have captured the insect in a real life situation that tells a good story

You have a right to be proud of this one. Great detail. Sharp image. Good color. Great composition. Thanks for sharing. I would be doing the same thing instead of sunbathing....keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you very much for the lovely review and generous rating. Have to tell you, that even if I walked around with my camera instead of sunbathing, I had the best tan of all in the end of the little holiday

Well done. I was going to ask if you saw his passport but see you were in Crete. What a great shot- good lighting, excellent focus. I love when I can see the eyes. Looks like you even combed his hair. You should be proud of this one.

Does this bee speak Greek? Nice capture though Annie and the vignette really adds to the beauty and focus here, very nicely done as usual!

Comment from R. Eugene Wallace


Ah ha! You are the ultimate photographer and understand your priorities. You prefer to work at your craft while other relax and enjoy their vacations. Sounds great to me and what's better, you photo that you captured is perfect. Wish I had more stars for you. Never play, just keep up the good work. :) Hurray for you.
