Just playing around in our yard with my camera It wasn't until I was back inside and reviewing my pictures that I noticed something on the back of the bee. A tick?! I have a cropped out version in the workshop to see the bug on his back
Hope you enjoy!!!

OMG!! HAHA! What a shot, what eyes you have my dear! I can barely see the bee. much less what kind of rider he has! Excellent shot Christan! Well seen, nice DOF! And thanks for the creep out!

It does indeed look as if your poor bee has an unwanted hitchhiker here!
Great details! It would have been really fabulous over on TN!)
Superb composition and colours

Hi Christan,
Like this stunning detailed close up! Excellent capture of this bussy bee :-) Perfect sharpness, the pollen are clearly captured! bThe WS macro is fine too.

Hello Christan,

What an interesting shot!
You have provided super details with very well composed shot!

I wonder if this tick is spreading the virus that is affecting bees this year. There is a definite decline in their numbers due to a virus (or bacteria!)

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Well Christian you have to bee so happy with your new camera, when you capture an image such as this. I can clearly see the tick, but I can also see a wonderful composition with beautiful colours and details. I love all the pollen on the bee and on the flower. I think this is just an awesome, artistic shot. Congratulations.
Warm Regards
Wanda

An excellent macro to start with Christan and how odd to see an insect infected with another. Fine focus and the detail on the bee most impressive,
David
