Caught this bee comming in for a landing on a flower in my front yard. Couldn't believe my luck. May be a little fuzzy but I tried to focus on the bee.

Cute title and blurb. These guys are a major pain to catch sometimes, I know. I tried to catch a butterfly again this morning and chased her all around. It's too bad that the focus isn't clear on this, but I can understand why. I applaud you for trying so hard to bring us the capture of her landing, and I do think that the colors are very vivid and nice in this pic. Actually the bee is the most in focus part of this composition. I'm not sure if I know of any software that can help with the clarity of a capture that needs this kind of work, but perhaps there is someone else that does and they will be kind enough to post it. :)PJ

These are fun little creatures to follow around - They're so busy they practically ignore your presence and allow for shots like these - The highlights are a little blown out, but I like your composition here!

These little critters give us a good run for our money, don't they. It's very tricky to get all the elements on target in a milli-second! The composition is nice, Chuck, and getting a good focus on a fast-moving subject is most often a matter of luck. - Patty

That is the cutest title. It fits the composition perfectly. I would expect nothing less from a military swabbie. That a pretty bee., so big. Is he a B-52 or C-5 Delux? Great post Chuck. About that dinner...................................

What a cute title Chuck and the busy bee is sure giving you a run for your camera :) The composition here is very nice and the bee has good clarity but the rest is a just a bit fuzzy. It's a good post and thanks for sharing this little critter.

I love this Chuck. The colours of the flower is breathtaking. I however would have tried to take more of the bea, I know these critters are hard to take, all the times i have wasted shots trying to capture them. Thanks for sharing this one.

Fun pic and title Chuck ... somebody better wave this guy off ... cause it looks like he's about to over shoot the runway. Not easy keeping everything in focus when trying to capture these little "buzzers" on the wing up close. Good job.

Your title is just too cute Chuck. A wonderful in flight photo of this little bee.I like how you have the focus on the bee with the background slightly blurred. Looks good.
