I couldn't vote on this challenge but if I had this would have got a 10 from me. Excellent shimmmer from the wings and a good challenge concept too.

Great shot! Great treatment of the challenge. 10

wow! i love the wings.

Excellent bee macro! I always have a hard time getting close enough. The bee either flies away as the camera approaches, or they turn and fly towards me sending me running off in a panic :D

The wings are too blury. :)

I was trying to photograph some bees on flowers yesterday. I was lucky to even get a bee in the frame, and none turned out this good. Nice photo!

Great movement and I like that you can see the texture on the bee.

Aerodynamically speaking, the bumble-bee should not be able to fly; and yet it does. Nice macro shot, with good texture on the flower but I would have preferred the bee to be sharper.

Super picture. I love how the bee's wings have motion blur. The focus, color and composition are great.

Excellent way of portraying strength! beautifall shot! :)

I knew someone was going to slip in a bug shot... and here it is. Nice how you captured the wings in motion with the body in clear focus.

NICE Great color and composition on a difficutl subject. The movement of the wings shows true strength

very nice macro...a little weak on the strength connection

Fabulous catch of the bee's wings and fine macro. Good job and nice interpretation of the Challenge.

I wonder how many people will understand your title? I used to have a "Bee" pin, given to me by a friend who was encouraging me in overcoming the odds in a tough situation. I think this is a nice idea and I really like the photo. the wings blur adds a lot to the shot. And you just made a liar out of me.....on one of the forums I said I was tired of seeing insect shots....but I like this one a lot.

A solid 9 from me! I love how you caught the motion of the wings here. The only thing keeping it from being ("bee"-ing) a 10 is that I don't feel it does a great job of meeting the challenge topic... it doesn't quite scream "strength" to me.

Nice.
04/14/2004 09:32:08 PM
A common misconception. It's actually the uneven structure of their wings, that makes them able to fly - had the surface of the wings been flat, then it would have defied physics. See - that's what you get when you don't think your research through, properly.
Nice photo, anyway.

I like your subject, there is much strength in the tiniest bee. I like the action in the wings, and the bee and flower are in crisp focus. Overall, nice job!

You might want to have a look at this: //kamps.org/g/?kdgx - but otherwise it is a pretty good picture.

nice macro
