I actually took the color tone down a bit on this one.

This is from the Calendar Gardens one of my favorite places for flowers, bees and butterflies and whateve else I might capture with the canon 70-300 IS USM Lens.

I appreciate your stopping by,and want to say thank you for your comments in advance.

You sure got that bee in focus. Outstanding colors and lighting, and DOF also. Very nice, Sandi.

Sandi, think you've made a proper choice to take the colour down a bit, as the tones have become more intense now.
Beautiful post, my friend!

Very nice Sandi - I also find I must de-saturate a little when I'm shooting in full sun unless I'm using an ND filter.

A good demonstration of the "plight of the bumble bee," Tigz. They are obsessed with flowers. Great shot and editing is well done.

A very good macro indeed. The colour and clarity is excellent and we should always keep an eye on our bees as they are dying out and The World Needs Bees!!
