I have a similar photo of a bee closing in on a sunflower that was an out take for Impressionism. Yes that is a definition of closing in.

Nice color contrasts, that brilliant blue makes for an irresistible landing strip - he's even got his landing gear down! :) Now we just need another bee waving him in with a glow stick.

Nice capture! A less centered composition might have been good here. Great color and a good idea , though.

A real grow on you photo, the way you have got both the flower and the bee infocus is excellent and there is a very real sense of the bee closing in on the pollen...Bumped to 7

I really like this shot. The bee is awesome. The colors are perfect. The composition is spot on. This will finish in the top 5 I bet if you don't get a ribbon. Please tell us how you stalked this beast when the challenge ends.
