Hello TL friends. I took this shot of this bee the other day at a local park. The must have been 50 of them working hard on these flowers. They didn't seem to mind me at all as I was able to get pretty close.

For this shot I was 24 inches from the bee. I used an 55-200mm lens with a Hoya UV filter. Focal length was 85mm and the ISO was set at 100. In PP I cropped, framed and then resized for TL. I hope you like this and as always thanks for viewing.

Regards,
Kevin

Very nice detail shot Kevin.
That bee looks so huge. Expertly placed bee and flower in the frame.
Love the streams of pink coming down in the background on the right.
Well cropped and presented.

What a great macro. I like how the purple looks like a "waterfall, or has sort of a waterfall effect behind the bee. Great detail showing the hair on him too.

Hi Kevin,

Very well done! Colours are vibrant but not over-saturated. Details are clear. I'm not so sure about the BG though. I think it is a little distracting. Maybe you could just burn or darken the BG a bit more in that your subject stands out more. Still a nice presentation overall.

TFS.

Alvin

hello Kevin,
I like they way the bee straddles the flower as if trying to extract the last drop of nectar.The bee is in good focus. I like the background of the pink petals too.
regards,
Bev
