Extraordinary work. Congratulations.

Many thanks for those very kind words Vincente, glad you enjoyed this composition.

Not seen some think like this for long time! Sucessuful presentation -- all what I can say!

The very epitomy of the "busy bee" head down, engrossed in its very important work. Its a lovely warm impressionist view that mark the end of summer beautifully!

Best Regards

Thankyou for that very lovely critique Alf. I do appreciate your visit. The days are getting colder here (nights as well). I keep hoping for what we often have, an 'Indian Summer'. Cheers for now, Gail

I do appreciate your visits and time taken to view this composition. Was in a bit of a Painterly mood that day.

Thanks so much for visiting and encouraging me with my images, I do appreciate it so much. I see what you mean by the 'other' flower!!!

Lovely and attractive capture.  Nice color match.  Sharp with depth and a lot of details.  Interesting blurred back ground.  Thanks for your kind encouragement.  You would use your talent fully if you were at Lake O'Hara even with your macros.  Best Regards,

Nice vivid colors and cheerful lighting is what I see here! Well done Gail!

Best regards

Very beautiful! Best regards, Ilkka

very beautiful image

Very nice macro shot! Great colors! Take a last look Gail. Its starting to get cold down here and I expect it must be pretty cold some days already up where you are!!

Yes, we actually had a 'wind chill' the last few days and it is suppossed to get quite cold tonite. We still have colour on the leaves that remain on the trees and 2 trees that we planted in our yard last year (Autumn Blaze maples) still are quite full of brightly coloured leaves. I have not been out today, it was so windy and cold, I decided to stay in. I am still hoping for an 'Indian Summer', even a few days would be nice! Many thanks for your visit!

;-) Gail!

Very nice shot,love the colors in this.

TO ALL WHO HAVE COMMENTED

I apologise that I still have not responded to your kind comments as of yet, I will try at the earliest opportunity to catch up, thanks for your understanding, Gail

I haven't done this for a few years, and many things have changed. It's a beautiful capture, but the impact is substantially less than it should be.

Cropping down from the top border to within  3/4's inch of the bee's wing increases impact significantly. It's really worth a look.
