Hands down, the closest, clearest macro of a bee I've ever seen. And he's working so hard on those soft purple flowers, and the soft green backdrop is in lovely contrast to his dark body and yellow jacket. I'm certainly glad they're not as large as this guy appears to be :)PJ
The position/angle is excellent! Great clarity! Great work....and the only thing I'd like better would be just a teeny bit more of the flower showing, as it looks beautiful...not coz it would make the shot better { since it is already great}...
Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.
-Josemaria Escriva
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry D. Thoreau
The name ChuPat is derived from my nickname Chuck and my wife of 34 years name Patti. Her photography will appear on Caedes as well from time to time. I consider myself an advanced amature not anyway close to being a professional. I have just taken photography more seriously since I have switched to digital. My profession has always been associated with pohtography in one way or another. Any criticism I receive will be well appreciated.
