This is a fantastic macro. It almost looked like a plastic bee, but looking closer you can see that it's real. REally nice. Good dof, focus and details. I love that you've told us just how small they are. Nice one.

I love bees. They have such an important job to do, and they do it without complaint. The flower that this special little guy has chosen is beautiful. Your picture is perfect.

So breathtakingly beautiful! If I had 10 stars, I would give them gladly! You captured such gorgeous detail, colors and subject matter. Great lighting, narrow DOF and placement into frame. One of my all time favorites for sure!! Thanks for sharing.

initial impact is very good. it's nice to see the flowers coming into bloom even if it does brings the bees. the soften background is good for adding dimension. the bee is an excellent macro shot. the flowers are centered nicely along with the bee and the focus is sharp. nice job.
