Jimbob - Fortunately, stingers ignore us, finding flowers much more desirable. Very fine dof and lighting, highlighting the wasp feeding on the red flowers. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

Very good focus, and I do know that they can be hard to capture as they are busy at work, and very active. I think this is a perfect foofy for the day. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Stunningly perfect, Jim :) the transparency of the wings render the otherwise threatening markings much more delicate. You have captured this bee as a work of art. I Also like the markings and semi transparency on the leaf. Of course, this bee chose the perfectly colored foofie. Very nice indeed :)

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Beautiful, I mean the flowers. I am not very fond of stinger of any kind. LOL Thanks a lot, Jim, have a great weekend.

Suppose it's not a stinger Jimbob, but a hoverfly. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that you have provided us with a wonderful F² image.
Thanks for that, mate!

Regards, Cornelius.

WOW, how long did you wait for this image ? Your camera setting are absolutely perfect, great management of the DOF. The only thing disturb me is that insect shows us his back. It would be better to see a side or his face, but sometimes it's impossible.
Anyway, I love your image Jim. Fantastic job.
