This image is more about energy through motion than about subject clarity and sharpness. The flower provides us with clarity and sharpness while the bee gives us motion. Some subjects don't need to be sharp to tell the story. The bee in motion and a still flower come together to complete the story.

I understand and appreciate your comments about energy through motion. The bee is very busy and I have often wondered what flowers make the best honey? Nice image and nice comments. Too many people would have merely said, Bee. No kidding!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, your just trying to explain away an unfocused bee....(just kidding).
No, this is cool. The title says it all. Good choice of title. Frankly, you chose such a good title, I don't know that any other commentary was necessary. it's obvious what is going on here. That boy doesn't lay around collecting welfare. He 's busy providing for himself this is a one in a million shot and you bagged it. Nice work, Michael.

Kind of unusual to see the bee off focus here Michael- It's usually the other way around. Thanks for the 360 on this .This looks very good.

A very busy happy lil bee - like all that movement in the image. Lovely frame that sets off this picture in just the right way. Enjoyed your comments - they're always fun to read. Look forward to more of these nature shots :>

That's simply amazing! The flower itself is sort of .. ummm ... 'stubby' and wouldn't be something I would even think of photographing. I guess this is a great example of being able to make a silk purse from a sow's ear, so to speak! I also like the way the bee has almost buried itself in the flower.

Great shot of the bee, they are so hard to get in motion, I just posted 2 shots of bees, funny, I also named them busy bees. check them out and give me your thoughts.
