Thanks guys I won't tell you how long I had to stand and how many pictures it took laughinggggggggg I have never seen such moving bees in my LIFE. I forgot to say this is a macro shot that flower is just an end to one of those spiked flowers bees like that are mostly purple. This was a light color version. Thanks again! :)

Cheryl, I really like your capture of this bee...very nice DOF to isolate your subjects. The colors and clarity are very nice too...I especially like how the bee flutters its wings to balance and help it make progress along the side of the flower. Neat catch of light in the black eyes. Nice shot. MFC

Cool shot - I love the DOF, the blurred moving wings, and the way he's looking right at us!

Isn't it great to "BEE" a photographer! Cheryl, this is a terrific shot! The clarity and DOF are wonderful. My favorite component is the sharp contrast of background and subject. ---Deb
