Nice lighting and such pretty colors all around. I'm so glad to see bees. Sometimes I wonder that they do come back. What an awful world it would bee without them! This one is beautiful.
Now that's funny, bees from you AND Mark Sasraku. I guess great minds and all that. Nice shot Jan, but you wouldn't want to sniff too hard when you were this close would you?!
I just gave this one a 10 in the voting booth and I absolutely had to comment! *This* is the kind of shot that I was trying to get just a few minutes ago in the garden, but darn those little bumble bees that won't sit still! What a spectacular shot! The composition is perfect! Clear (and in focus) subject, nicely framed, and the lighting is perfect. I absolutely love the detail of the wings! All of this on top of the fact that the subject was probably not still for long.
