 This little guy was buzzing around me, So I decide to take his picture. The crazy thing was that there are no flowers around just an open field area. As I was attempting to match the speed of the bee the people that were with me were wondering why I was spinning around taking picture.
Cropped, and adjusted lighting.

A little overexposed and a little on the soft side. Waiting for the bee to land would allow you to take more time with focusing.

Pretty amazing that you captured him/her in mid flight. Too bad the clarity isn't sharper.

A good effort that lacks several elements of being technically successful, but the most glaring is the lack of proper focus to bring out the detail of the bee. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but is fails to have any significant artistic impact. A good entry into the challenge.
