This 'acrobat' was captured in the garden of my wife while it was performing its 'acrobatic act' on a Physostegia Virginiana 'Summer Snow'.
Hope you'll like this image. Thanks in advance for your comment.

In life as in dance: grace glides on blistered feet.
Cornelius - These busy acrobats are hard at work all day long, oblivious to our presence, so long a there is pollen to be collected. Painting my house, I worked around the flowering plants of one garden, scraping and painting, while they merrily buzzed around doing their work. Nicely focused, with a shallow dof, you have provided an interesting composition as well. Terrific work, my friend. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
Nice and sharp focus not only on the bee but also on the flowers and the plant Cornelius. The white flowers on the bright green look wonderful and the "bee bonus" makes this an excellent image.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Top notch work here, Mr. C. Beautiful focus on the foofies with the bee, and beautifully blurred in all the right places. Fantastic post.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Super image Sir C! A very agile acrobat indeed!

Beautiful white flowers which I think are called 'Obedient plant' too. I have only seen them in pink. And the bee is crystal clear. As I look at this beauty amidst a sea of green, I am thinking it would be a perfect entry for the current contest.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
I would have been tempted to present this in a vertical fashion and cropped the right side Sea. I just think it would draw the eye immediately to the acrobat. Don't get me wrong, that is just a thought and I still like the photo.
Good health to you and yours.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
The acrobatic bee is so crisp & clear. Beautiful white flowers too. I'm with Tick on the vertical presentation ... in other words cropping the right half of the image. I think it will draw the eye in more to the subjects as well. Your focus is spot on though & color balnce is perfect. Beautifully captured, Cornelius & thanks again for sharing your wife's lovely garden.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
It's a great capture (just gave it high marks in the booth) but I think there's a bit too much bokeh involved in the shot. Cropping in from the bottom and the right, perhaps even as much as 50% of the area, would still provide good bokeh but put more emphasis on the main subject, the bee at work. I'm always looking for the photo within the shot. Just a thought.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Excellent shot with great clarity and lovely colors!
Wonderful capture!!

Looks like this guy is out doing his job. Little did he know he was about to be discovered while going about his business.
