I'm looking at your print list. My walls would be happy if they were covered with your prints. So would I!

ooh it's so cute! I love bees now. I used to hate them, but I don't know why. They're adorable and needed!

Very nice shot, I'd be scared myself to that close to go near one of them, unless of course you were using zoom.

But well done, very nice shot

Thank you

when these bees are busy... they don't care how close you get i used a sigma 70-300 super macro to get this one. it was shot with a digital sigma sd9 and my settings were 1/250s at f5.6

Yes, I shoot a Sigma SD9 digital SLR.

If this was taken with a digital camera, it must be some camera. I would love to know the model and the specs on that.

Also, great shot. I would love to take pics of bees, but they are attracted to me, and I am allergic to them. So, I pretty much just avoid the opportunity when it arrises.

Also, this image has a great depth of field and wonderful use of appeture.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you! I use a Sigma SD9 DSLR and this one was shot with a 70-300 macro Sigma lens. I was about 10' away from this critter for this shot.

Beautiful shot. Such wonderful detail and the variety of indistinct colors in the back makes a wonderful backdrop for this.

The composition of this one is better then the other. Love the yellow back of the bee, in great contrast with the blue the sky.
The branch has the perfect angle.

He's such a sweet little guy.

I think this is a great shot. I love the focus - the way the background is blurred to this soft pink and deep blue which seem to go together perfectly, while the branch in the foreground is very sharp with all the tiny details visible - and the combination of the gentle pink of the blossoms and bright yellow of the bumblebee itself. Definitely

Peace.
