A wonderful content again as this time you have created a fantastic close up from above which is unusual for tiny birds sitting on such a wonderful natural place that you really created a fantastic picture with a huge sharpness, so we can see all the sections of this tiny living bird - so congratulations on this special moment to create this wonderful picture, dear Susan, xoxo

Excellent shot of this busy little bee showing her laden pollen baskets seen through her wings. Great camera techniques to show such a clear and detailed image, Susan. I like the frame you added and also the informative notes accompanying this. Great composition. Suzanne

Thisis a great photo of this Clark's Miner Bee. The iridescence of the wings captures the viewers attention immediately.

The clarity is such that we can see the pollen sacs. The green background accentuates the bee which is well positioned in the frame.

A beautiful shot Susan ~ Steve

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of both bee and leaf. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well taken!

Good close-up of this bee and like the way its sitting on the green leaf,a fine nature shot with splendid detail,not sure about framing though but it is different and does not distract fro the subject as such,good one...Brian

This is a fine piece of Nature Photography. This clearly shows how we can find beauty even in small mundane things which we otherwise ignore. The entire composition, colours, light make this first rate. Well Done!

A beautiful bee and a very fine image even if the leaf does not resemble any willow I am familiar with. An excellent composition with very sharp detail in the bee.

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on the Clark's Miner Bee..the leaf was on s plant ( the shape similar to a Mint) I need to attempt to identify next time I'm on the river. It's not a Willow leaf.

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this female Miner Bee if you look through her wings you can see her Pollen Baskets filled with yellow pollen
    Bees have long antenna & four wings. Flies have short antenna & only 2 wings.
