At first I thought this was a drone fly, but it looks like a honeybee in the photos, so I'm assuming thats what it was.

If this were just a little more focused, you'd have me sold on this pic. Its good, but without being crystal clear it removes itself from being really exceptional

Great composition. Would like to see the bee sharper.

Very cute. Nice burst of color. I'd like to see the little guy more in focus, since he's the main subject, but it's still a rare capture. Good job. Jacko. 7

nice shot, but I think the bee's a bit out of focus.. maybe a slightly larger DOF or something?

Good capture, this could have worked in both "flora" and "fauna".

good job

Well caught - shame it isn't a little sharper (very difficult I know).

Nicely done. The only thing I would suggest to improve the image would be to give the bee more space to fly into.

A bit too blurry for me.

You chose a hard subject to capture. I would have preferred a little less sharp detail on the flower and more on the bee, but understandably the bee probably did not help you out with accomplishing this. Damn moving animals. *grin*

Incredible capture! Shallow DOF works for me... but I think I would have preferred just a bit more of the flower in focus. Still, amazing shot!

Clear AND in-flight?! Okay, I'm impressed.

I'm amazed that the wings show up at all you had to be fast to get this
