Bee at work in Rhododendron flower

Beautiful colors. Nice picture.

Hi Sam,

A delicate and colorful environment for this hard worker to be found in.

I like the motion blur from his wings moving so quickly, too.

Best Regards my friend, Mike

Yeah, Mike,

I have a friend who always says: "those who photograph, see more."

Here that applies too.

When I took this shot at about three metres distance from that flower, I didn't notice the bee's wings moving. Now it can be seen thanks to the use of the telephoto lens.

Thanks very much for your appreciation & kind remarks.

cheers

Sam

Good shot, I know how difficult it is to capture a subject like this.

Regards

João,

 thank you very much for your appreciation!

This image was created by hazard. I was shooting the flower with a telephoto lens - only on the computer monitor I found that the bee was clearly defined.....

An image like this, created with a macro lens, is very difficult indeed as the photographer has to come very close to the bee, which, more often than not, will decide to flee before a shot can be taken.

cheers

Sam
