Bzzzz Bzzzz. Good capture of this bumble bee working on this purple flower. Good focus makes the details in the bee very visible. Good use of available light. The dark background helps this to stand out. Well seen.

Pat,
A wonderful picture of this beautiful blue Cornflower with a visiting Bumble Bee that I think is called Bombus Lapponicus ( if my research is correct) . Beautiful composition framing & lighting that makes the blue pets glow in the light & allow us to see through the bee's gossamer wings. Beautiful blurred green background making the perfect contrasting backdrop. Taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

I have been missing seeing bee photos! What a fuzzy, healthy looking bee this is. I think I may see his beady black eyes, which is something I have not yet seen in a bee photo as they are usually facing down. His lacy veined wings are also clear to see! A great photo! Daphne Oberon

this is a great photo. the fuzzy little details of this honey maker are so clear, as are those of the flower. the colour saturation is amazing and the blurred background is nice :)

Quite an attractive nature shot posted here! Your slightly off-centre composition grants us a nice view of your beautiful bloom and bee. Looks like a new kind of bee to me as a Brit! Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done!
