insects... The Purple Cap...

Wow, a honeybee. Don't see many of those around any more. Very good sharpness and color, excellent bg blur.

Thank you kindly. Bees are a popular subject for me, since there are so many around.

Superb macro! Lovely colours and excellent detail in the head of the bee. Beautiful composition too. Well done! Rgds Carole

Critiques appreciated...

Splendid color. Good focus on the bee's thorax. Tricky I am sure. Nice work.

Outstanding image Jennifer. Very well captured in all their slendor.

All the best

... very good macro ... best regards from Cyprus ...

I agree with Les. Wow.

Well done with colors, composition. Sharp and in focus. Well presented work.

It is the peak

This is a splendid photo, from composition to colors and resolution to bokeh.  Would you consent to tell us what lens you used?
