Really interesting. If that bee goes in any further we'll have to get ropes to pull it out.

LOL! You're no one till you've been mooned by a bee. Or ignored by a cat.

Beautiful colors and exceptional focus, Fred! Lovely as always!

Nice catch, great focus on the bee. He really is a long way down in the flower, had to chuckle when I saw this.

Great post. Bees are hard critters to catch. I agree with Jack Russell, the colors are perfect!. Did you use a polarizing filter?

Bees are sometimes very hard to photograph - esp when they are pollinating flowers. Nice capture -- and great contrast. The focus is excellent, too. CONGRATS!

That's cool Fred! He looks stuffed right in there. I like he looks like he is trying so hard to fit just a bit father up in there with his little legs hanging out and all. Nice focus, dof and great catch! Good eye to spot that!

Hi Fred,
I am always amazed at how amazing your images are!! the composition and light in this one are just so cool. If I can get just one image like this I would be over the moon, Thanks for sharing it.
Oh just so you know, I found out yesterday I am losing my job next week. SO now its time to start all over again... Have a great weekend buddy.
