You have pictured this cute little bumblebee so well diving into a lovely thistle. Both are standing out from the softened background in an excellent way.

The focus is spot on and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen both in the bee and the thistle. The exposure is perfect, and the colors are nice and natural.

The photo is nicely cropped, and the added frame looks good. The thistle and bumble bee are well placed within the frame. A truly lovely and well taken photo Susan, and with an excellent DOF.

This is a very pretty photo, Susan. The colors are lovely especially the Scotch thistle and it is nicely composed.
The focus is very sharp, you can see the details in the bee's wings and the thistle.
Love these nature shots!

Hi Susan, I didn't know there was a buff tail bumblebee. I can see the lighter colors on the well focused tail. Love how the bee is nestled in this thistle.. The only thing I don't like is the view of the large green thistle in the background. I think it takes the focus away for the bee. The bee and thistle flower are really good though. They both have nice focus and lighting! :o) Nancy

This is an excellent capture Susan.

All viewable aspects of this Bombus terrestris are spot on sharp and clear as is the Scotch Thistle.

The color palette is natural in appearance. The soft bokeh of the background brings out and highlights both the bee and the blossom.

Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of this busy little bee... Bob

Your lens has captured a truly beautiful shot of nature at its best. A lovely bee attending to its duty to help provide for its hive, and a lovelier flower there couldn't "Bee". The focus and centering are perfect.

Susan, what a beautiful Bumbler diving into the thistle sucking up the sweet nectar. Her black and yellow body sits nicely in the petals of the thistle as if on a light purple power puff. Thank you for sharing this. Ray

This is the second bumble bee I've seen today! They are just so cute. I like how you blurred the background to really make the subject pop. Beautiful bed and beautiful flower. Thanks for sharing!

I like this one Susan. Great focus and clarity on the Buff-tail bumblebee as it sits on this lovely purple Scotch thistle. (Susan you amaze me will you knowledge of natures names) Nicely placed in the composition and a wonderful colourful nature image!

    Chris,
    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this Bumblebee on the Scotch Thistle. I've always been curious about nature & the names of Birds, flowers & insects so if I don't know the name I look it up. Dr Google makes life easy on that account.

Very sharp focus on that bumble bee. Great combination of soft natural colors. I'm feeling the placement is off a bit. I would like to see the bee and over to the left a little more.
