Excellent bee macro! I always have a hard time getting close enough. The bee either flies away as the camera approaches, or they turn and fly towards me sending me running off in a panic :D
Aerodynamically speaking, the bumble-bee should not be able to fly; and yet it does. Nice macro shot, with good texture on the flower but I would have preferred the bee to be sharper.
I wonder how many people will understand your title? I used to have a "Bee" pin, given to me by a friend who was encouraging me in overcoming the odds in a tough situation. I think this is a nice idea and I really like the photo. the wings blur adds a lot to the shot. And you just made a liar out of me.....on one of the forums I said I was tired of seeing insect shots....but I like this one a lot.
A solid 9 from me! I love how you caught the motion of the wings here. The only thing keeping it from being ("bee"-ing) a 10 is that I don't feel it does a great job of meeting the challenge topic... it doesn't quite scream "strength" to me.
A common misconception. It's actually the uneven structure of their wings, that makes them able to fly - had the surface of the wings been flat, then it would have defied physics. See - that's what you get when you don't think your research through, properly.
Nice photo, anyway.
I like your subject, there is much strength in the tiniest bee. I like the action in the wings, and the bee and flower are in crisp focus. Overall, nice job!
