Beautiful shot of the bumble bee on the flower. Now the flower/bud also intrigues me because it looks so very different. In the US we are having a huge problem because so many bees are disappearing and they don't know why. We also have a problem with the African bees the have slowly moved North out of South America. As the bees get Africanized, they get more hostile and less productive, another problem for our farmers and anyone who depends up the bee. I don't think most people realize how very much the actually DEPEND upon the bee. I have forgotten the story about how/why the bees got from Africa to South America. I think someone thought it was a good idea because they were bigger, but I'm not positive.

    Thank you very much Doll for your positive comments and marking, I do appreciate it. I lived in Portugal for three years and the bees out there are blue.

    Oh my gosh! I have NEVER heard of blue bees. I'm sure that makes for an interesting reaction the first time you see them. Then, of course, you get used to them.

Very beautiful image. I liked the many vibrant colors with this image. Great job with DOF. Well composed with good color harmony, lighting, initial impact, story telling ability, creativity of presentation, technique and technical excellence. Great job also with artist notes. Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing it

WOW. Now that's what I expect from you. Like the colors and the shot in general. Keep this up and you're going to go down in photography history. Put in explantion marks after the "WOW", but FAR said no.
Latter Bubba. Mike
