bees are a bit like shooting birds...... you keep shooting them till you get a good one...... then go out and improve on the last shot......this image is full frame, available light, and could do with some cropping

I think this is better than what I shot a few days ago, but only because it has more of a graphic feel to the image due to the contrast and I was shooting at f11 so a tad sharper.......iso320 160 @ f11 Nikon 105 macro non VR hand held...... I only had 2 beers last night...... might move the plant and do some back light shots......

Very cool shot! Oddly, I found myself unable to gauge how hard this shot must have been based purely on the size of a bee... I had to recall what size a lavender bloom is - VERY well done :D

It's a fantastic shot... but the reflection of your hand in the glass behind is distracting I think.

Other then that, it's a top shot - I love it! :D

How bad is it when you read BEERS instead of BEES.

Great shot all the same

Cheers
