This is perfectly framed. The focus on the bee is nailed perfectly and the DOF gives a soft, three dimensional feel to the flower details.

The result is a wonderful example of nature photography.

Excellent macro Willie, this is great. Color tone is great, the detail is great , so focus is spot on the DOF is good not to narrow
Great use of light also

Thank you so very much! I don't know what kind of bee or bug it is but it is yellow! I am in a photo club and we have a contest going now called the color yellow! I am going to enter this one for that! As a matter of fact I shot this for that and then the macro contest came up so I entered it in that one too! I am trying to get a good close shot of a goldfench I will enter that if I can get one but this is my backup.

This is truly deserving of 51/2 stars. This picture is so clear and sharp and you have displayed amazing detail on the wing span. Sharp color and excellent lighting.

Super macro of the bee and the dandelion. Yes they are considering a weed by some but a beautiful flower. The bee is really sharply focused. Great job. Nice impact. Thanks for sharing.
