Talking Face to Face

My son told me there was a bee in the house. A "normal" person would shoo it away...
any of us here... would grab our gear and see what we can come up with!!

This is what I caught. He is sitting on a piece of thin white flexible foam that I had in my bag... its just a window behind him... but it gives a great soft box feel!

Face to Face

Is it just me, or does that bee head tilt make it look a little angry?

Nice capture.

There is definitely some emotion in his position... thankfully not angry enough to sting! lol

I do think its positioning and the upward angle make it look menacing. I am sucker for the macro shots. This is a great one. I will have to remember that if I get an insect inside at some point.
