I tried shooting Bees this weekend and now have a much greater appreciation of a beautiful shot like this one. It is so hard. Patience is definitely a virtue in this endeavor. Very nice. A 9

I struggle with taking photos of birds of paradise. You did this very well: I love the pastel, washed-out colors from the sunlight and your DOF, which made the flower essentially out of focus. I think this image could have been composed a little better to see the bee more, but it still quite works well.
