Information on "Bumble bee" from Free Web Dictionary "WiKiPedia":

A bumblebee (or bumble bee) is any member of the bee genus Bombus, in the family Apidae. There are over 250 known species, existing primarily in the Northern Hemisphere.

Bumblebees are social insects that are characterized by black and yellow body hairs, often in bands. However, some species have orange or red on their bodies, or may be entirely black.[1] Another obvious (but not unique) characteristic is the soft nature of the hair (long, branched setae), called pile, that covers their entire body, making them appear and feel fuzzy. They are best distinguished from similarly large, fuzzy bees by the form of the female hind leg, which is modified to form a corbicula; a shiny concave surface that is bare, but surrounded by a fringe of hairs used to transport pollen (in similar bees, the hind leg is completely hairy, and pollen grains are wedged into the hairs for transport).

Like their relatives the honey bees, bumblebees feed on nectar and gather pollen to feed their young.

Hello Paras,
thanks a lot for this plesant dedication my friend. i liked it so much. Excellent shot from nice POV with great clarity.
Once more thanks for this nice present.

Good Morning Paras,

A fine dedication shot for another fine photographer.
Three does make good composition and these three asters are well placed in the frame.
Your good dof keeps the focal flower, with its additional, interesting bee, sharply focussed against the oof b/g.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

dear Paras,
soft and pale violet of flowers and also soft yellow of bumble bee are making tender and fantastic space in this picture.
its tone is delicate and cheerful for my eyes.
blurred back by this DOF is effective to express the ambience in tender shadow space.
thank you,
Akihisa

Ciao Paras,


Nice gift to your friend...
This is a delicate flower, captured with fine details!
I notice the sharp fine patterns in the lilac petals, and the Dof isolates the plant well from the blurry background...
An optimistic image, well composed!
Greetings,

Sergio
