Wow... excellent. Go Kiwi!!! I have the same camera as you. Hmmm, obviously not the same lens lol. Maybe I'll have to spend more next time.

Was shot hand held using a 580ex in high speed fill flash mode which will naturaly darken a shadowed background, no backdrop was used...

Its a small bee on a small flower :o)
.
This photo was cropped approx 10% and reduced in size quite considerably...

Thanks for all your comments :o)

I like the angle & the colours-soft, not overly saturated.

Did you use a backdrop?

I like the composition/orientation. I think is adds some action to the shot.

That's a tiny flower (or a giant bee?). Great shot!

Beautiful--but it feels like the bee will fall off the flower.

Gary....I really like this, but I would rotate the image 90degree counterclockwise. I think the composition would be perfect like that!
