Captured this bee hard at work, at the calendar gardens. I tried to do some postwork to darken the flower a bit, not perfect by any means but I thought it was worth sharing.

You captured more detail in that bee than I have ever seen in a picture. My wife tried to swat the screen. LOL! Well done Tiggs.

I had to laugh at BTK's remark about his wife swatting the screen. I think from your title the bee has gone to sleep.
Good post.

It most definitely is worthy of sharing. Love the detail on the busy bee & the flower looks fine as is. I like the lighting too & the comp is perfect. Wonderful capture, Sandi.

The flower looks good in the sunshine and the bee adds to the beauty of the image Sandi.

That screen is about as close to a bee as I want to get - really looks real - excellent macro.

Love to see them about doing their work in my gardens too. They have been under so much attack from various angles. Love those honey bees.

Billy's right, Sandi. I swatted my screen and got stung. By the way, I'm allergic to bees so you should be hearing from my attorney's within a few days.

Ah, there's honey in my future! I like how the bee almost replaces the center of the bloom.

Just wanted you to know I viewed your pretty image. I am recovering from botched eye surgery (cataract removal ) that did not go right. I will recover normal sight but it will take time.
