The pollenator

Its either over sharpened or heavily cropped...? The resolution & tonal range seems very poor. What did you use to photograph it?

Saying that you have captured the moment very well. I have tried so many times to get a bee in flight like this and failed... you have actually stopped the motion very well... its just the above ^ that lets it down a bit.

Thanks for your interest - I have to agree this could be better ... It was my first ever attempt at such a subject ( I usually shoot landscapes) and I think the problem is mainly due to excessive cropping from the original image which was about 10x larger.
