A busy bee hard at work at the calendar gardens.
The canon 70-200mm lens, the kenko 1.4x converter worked together to get this capture.
Best viewed full screen, I know most do but for those who don't I would appreciate the effort.Thank you for your comments.

Good one Sandi...Did you use spot focus on this one,Focus seems to be on the leaf to the left....R.

Such an array of beautiful colors in this shot and those eyes! Wow. I don't know how anyone can make an intelligent comment about any image on here without looking at it full screen. However, if that is the case, it sure goes a long way to explaining some things. Very beautiful, Tigs. I'd have been tempted to crop off the left side, but that is just me. Looks fine your way.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
Those busy days on the flowers are about to come to an end Tigz. The colors are rally good. Your 1.4x converter works great. After much research I discovered my particular lens isn't suited for a converter.
Excellent post.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
A real must see at full screen!!!! The details are just amazing Sandi! Outstanding in every way girl!

Great title for a marvelous close up of this fellow working hard

Tigs, you have a veritable rainbow of colors in this shot. It's 100° here today. When you're buried under four feet of snow, I'll be taking shots of bees. Unfortunately they'll suck compared to this beauty. After checking with you on your tubes and teleconverters, I"m with TicK. My lenses don't take converters. Beauty of an image.

It is a gorgeous shot, full of great color. I don't really
understand most comments, as it's not sharp when full on my 24" screen, and that's after a touch of sharpen.
The leaf to the left is sharpest and gives good indication of the very shallow depth of field. If you're shooting in Auto or Program
mode with that tele converter at full zoom, the light loss will cause the camera to choose a maximum aperture. That could cut your depth to millimeters.
If you use the AV(aperture priority) mode setting, you can set your aperture to f/16 to f/32 to increase the area of sharpness, though you may need a tripod, as the shutter speed will be automatically reduced to allow more light in to compensate for the smaller apertures.
It all depends on the available light.
Long zooms and tele converters require considerably more light or exposure time because the lenses are inherently slower, and the converters double and triple the light loss, requiring the camera to compensate with correspondingly slower shutter speeds.
You might be better without the converter, to allow more light transmission and though you'll cover a bit wider area, you'll have a sharper image to crop.

Great colors and details Sandi. After the scare a few years ago I am glad to see any capture of a bee.

First time I've seen a bee with green eyes. It could be possible that it's a fashion-conscious one with green colored contact lenses, lol.
Great macro, Sandi. I've enjoyed it (at full screen size).
Regards, Cornelius.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Nice shot of the doing what he does best. Beautiful colours in this image too.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
BEE-You-Tee-Full! You are a pro at shots like this, Sandi. I bet you are the gardens calendar girl! LOL.

Had to laugh at Jims comment..lol! It is strange how cute these furry little stingers look in a closeup like this. Great shot Sandi!

He sure does look like a busy bee. Great colors, but I agree the focus is more on the leaf to the left of the bee. I do love how you captured the bee's eyes & wings. Superbly captured, Sandi.
