This is a wonderful close up of the insect world. I never knew that bees were this hairy, but I am pleasantly surprised . The bee collecting pollen. I love the whole shot.

A great shot. How often do you see this kind of intimate look at a nectar sipping bee. Great focus, lighting, framing, and the soft focus background.

The eyes are nicely visible and have a good catchlight even if they are not prominent. Excellent colors and a dramatic perspective.

Sup...this is an intensely up close and personal shot of the bee. I do see the bright spot on the side of the head where the eyes actually are. What I really like is the clarity of the little hairs on the top of the head that look like a Mohawk. Very styling little bee. And I never realized that a bee like this has a basic prehistoric forehead. And this shot is clear enough to really see the sticky nectar the bee is looking for. Great shot.

I know that feeling all to well. I'll be 53 in 2 and a half months.....lol But aging does beat the alternative.

very different when you are more than 72....

My father is almost 77, and I've seen your photography and you travel to great places. You are enjoying life, so you aren't old...you are experienced in life and living it.

WOW I just spend my last 6 and this one deserves one too - a stunning capture and true the eyes can be easily be confused with these tiny people like sensor buttons - your hyper macro shows all details of this face in perfection , these hair between the huge eyes create the "punk" effect and the eyes just looks like head phones

a fantastic composition, super angle and position, I love the fragile colors in the background letting your bee stand out very well against the background

your focus is spot on, contrast and lighting amazing - this face shows all textures is perfection, even a nose and mouth - I bet when these would be as big as cats, people would run ( Dracula face9 - wow shot, thanks for sharing
