There is absolutely no blurriness, not even a little. Bees wouldn't sit still for me if I tried. lol AMAZING work! This deserves a 20 Star.

Mary,
A beautiful macro shot of the Bee collecting pollen from the Alyssum flowers. The sun's rays sparkling in her eyes while highlighting it's gossamer wings, bristled body & pollen baskets& the white flowers. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Hi Mary, Nice job of capturing this honeybee! Love the angle of the shot! The bee is just on the edge of being n perfect focus. It's still pretty darn good though. Lighting is pretty good too! Love the pov of the bee in the corner. Nice capture and fun to view! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

Maybe the bee is singing a spring melody to the flowers in the hope of getting more honey! This is quite a captivating scene you have captured. This is sure to draw a number of eyeballs. Good luck!

A most excellent capture of this little tiny bee! The focus of your shot is incredibly clear, showing us the beautiful details of the bee and the flowers he is enjoying. The lighting is excellent, and your close-up has produced a beautiful bokeh background. A very worthy shot, thank you so much for sharing!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of the visitor and the visited. Like the eye and wings. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Julie Lois Lau
The clarity is amazing It's so good to see bees at work despite doom and gloom on the media. BTW adding a hyphen between 'pollen' and 'giving' will make the meaning clearer. Wonderful photography! JL
