Used a 31mm macro extension tube for this one, and possibly a contest entry? I know it's not a your in face macro, so will keep at it, and then decide.

Thank you for commenting.

Hmm that bee looks so big, & real it's frightening! I too think this upload will do well in the contest, but the decision's yours Tigz.

Wow this out right stunning and the light reflecting of the back of the bee add that extra wow factor to the beautiful and colourful capture.

Very clear shot of the bee and the colourful flower Sandi. It is sharp enough to cut it and make a closer shot.

Super capture and title is perfect for this beauty. Really like the detail of the centre and like the softness of the pedals

This would be a excellent entry. Good Luck

I like the shallow depth of field. I also notice you got it just deep enough to get the entire bee and the flower in focus while letting the background blur out. Very well done. Good photo for the current contest..
