This photograph is really striking! Lovely colour and focus, lots of interesting and perfect forms to look at after the first glance. Absolutely inspiring!

Laura, amazing clarity and sharpness, beautifully composed. You have a very steady hands. It's very difficult to get such sharp image with 5T and 12x zoom.

Doesn't matter what type of bee, it's beautiful , and contrasts so well with the flower. Lovely. Bea.

The wings are one of natures marvels ... superbly caught

Yes, Sue - the flower is actually called Meadow Foam. Thanks for the comments, and sometimes it's just luck and timing - being ready when the flying critter arrives.

Laura, this is just beautiful! So many times I have attempted this, only to have either the bee/insect in focus, or the flower! Lovely to see a shot like this with the DOF you've achieved! Do you know what the flower is?
Guest 18-Apr-2005 05:26
Just beautiful Laura, can't help with the name of the bee.
