Weeeeeeeeeeee! Ha ha, This is great. I LOOOOOOve bumblebees and I finally found a detailed image. Wonderful. Bumblees are endearing to me because they're so heavy to maneuver and so big and fuzzy. Is it possible to capture one at such an angle that its big...ness will be captured too? Thanks.

Great framing, love the bright colors. The bokeh is a tad harsh, though. What lens did you camera/lens did you use?

Sorry...what's bokeh? I used a Nikon D50 with a Sigma 55-200mm lens at ISO 400. I believe it was shot at 200mm. Thanks!

Amazing capture. Really like the softness of the background contrasted with the bee. Nicely done.

Excellent! This is SO HARD TO DO! I got one like this of a seabird many years ago on slide film, but this is a bee!! Great work and my admiration! Cheers! - Dave

Geat job Jeff, cant beleive you got this so clear. I also have a Nikon D-50, but I have an old sears 200mm lens. Why are you using a sigma lens instead of nikkor, is it better? let me know cause I will be buying one soon.

Nigel..if your reading this post..."Nikon D-50" lol. Its a great photograph. But honestly, i dont like bees. Ever since 3rd grade when i got stung, wasnt very pretty. However just bees alone without their torture devices, i think they are pretty neat.

LOL @ Noah! And again lol I can picture Noah getting stung by a bee, even though I don't know what he looks like...When's that self portrait pic coming then? Anyway, I really like this image, it's very crisp with some noise.
