Nicely composed bee shot. Love the way you were able to capture the motion in the bees' wings. The slight blurring of the bee give dynamic and a sense of flight. The beautiful colors of the flower also help to add to the composition. Focusing is good and the depth of field help to make the bee pop out of the picture.
You captured the flying motion of the bees wings spectacularly. I would like to see the bee in a little better focus with respect to the flower but this is an exceptional image.
Good capture and definitely challenge meeting. Your main focus seems to be on the stem of the flower instead of your main subject tho. The shallow DOF works well to blur out the background tho.
GREAT SHOT! (don't mind the wing blur comments, even at 1/1000, you're not stopping those wings!!! I know!) Love the color (very rich) and the sharp focus! This is the best I've seen so far. 10 Rob the Swash
