Excellent! Words fail me - absolutely superb! Great DOF, colors are well balanced and the bee coloration is correct, everything that needs to be in crisp focus is, details in the black are not lost in the shadows, wings are fantastic in their balance of clear and veins and slight coloration. What's not to like about this one? Put it into a textbook, a birds and bee calendar, or on Wikipedia!

That is a big eyeball.

I'm as interested in how well you captured the flower as the bee. Terrific shot.

Superb detail, Roy. As well as the eye, I love the veins in the wings, and how the front part of the flowers is so sparkly.
