Good bee shot. He is a skinny little fellow. Maybe it could eat more and put some weight on if it didn't keep getting disturbed by marcro photographers. Nice job.
Great colors and lighting! I like how the colors of the flower and bug contrast so well - really makes the bug stand out. The DOF does that too. I like the light at the top and the shadows at the bottom. 8
Nice shot. I think I would like it better if the underside of the flower were a bit more brightly lit. A bit deeper DOF would have broght entire bee into focus.
Must be the Atkins Diet. The bee doesn't stand out enough against the dark flower. But then I know how hard it is to find a good bug photo opportunity. Good luck :)
