Bees are attracted to the echinops plants in my garden at this time of year. Sometimes one flower/seed head can be visited by six or more bees at once.

Hi Bev,

Absolutely perfect!
Beautiful details and the soft blurred colours in the BG just are the finsihing touch - a beauty you have created here and congratulations on catching 2 bumble bees at the same time.

Hi Bev,
This is a wonderful shot of these bees. The detail is very nice and the image is clear and sharp. The blurred BG is nice as well.
Regards,

Hi Bev,
Really this is a great pleasure to admire this macro! What fine colors and acuity. Great DOF!
Echinops plants are a true rich attic for the bees! You rendered this scene perfectly! Bravo! Annie

Nice macro with superb details in the left hand bee. I also like the contrast between the busy details in the top of the frame and the blurred simplicity of the bottom.
Thanks for sharing

Hello Bev,

Your title made me chuckle, but it fits perfectly!
You have done well to capture two bees AND keep them both in focus!
I really like the way you have part of the shot sharp and focussed with the b/g softly blurred.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Bev,

A fine sharp capture of these small bumble bees at work on the flower.

The lovely soft pink and green colours of the out of focus BG has produced a very satisfying image.

Nice work!

Kind regards,

Peter.

Hello Bev!
Lovely composition and very good capture!
Good focus and very nice blurred background!
Best regards!
Lili
