The Common Carder Bee.......taken in my back garden.

The commonest of the carder bumblebees, widespread throughout Britain

Commonly found on uncultivated land such as public open spaces, roadside verges, woodland rides

Forage on a wide range of plants, especially deadnettles and flowers in the pea family

We forget about these little guys cos they dont look stripy.....

PP - focal soften, colours adj, sharpened, frame and text added, resized for tl

Thanks for looking
Cheers
Linzi

Hi Linzi,
Nice macro with good colour, I think the leaf that he is on is slightly over exposed and the focus is a bit soft maybe due to your focal soften in PP, not sure about that, I have doan a workshop for you, hope you like it.
Regards Andy

Hi Linzi,
I like this, the leaf is a little overexposed (as Andy says) but the detail in the bee makes up for it. Interesting note too.
Cheers, John.

Hi Goody... agree... bit over exposed, but that's an easy fix. If anything, the over exposure is reflection off of the leaf.. in bright conditions, try and keep the sun behind you more and you should be ok,darn good workshop though!!

The bee is excellent as well, I like bees...

hi goodwitch,

good close up of this bee, as others say, a touch oe, good colours on the bee and good close crop.

regards c.d.
