Unless Aussie bees are more docile than USA bees, this is an exceptional capture. It's darned hard to get wings at full extension. Maybe Katie has helped with your reflexes.
:-))

In any event, this is just great, as usual.

It's pleasant to see the colors repeated in the background. Seems to complete the composition.

Whatever you're doing, pixelpig, it works for me. If you would share some of your processing steps I know we would all appreciate them.

I sometimes use a bit of tone mapping, using a new program called "Essential HDR" that I heard about here on DPC a week or so ago. I've used some of the other programs, including the one in Photoshop and the colors are too garish for my tastes. This one seems to be a but more subdued. As I work with it a bit more, I'll try to give a report.

But whatever you are doing is exciting and I like it very much.

Yeah, these are tiny little things, aren't they!
Good definition and detail and I think the dark background
makes them pop beautifully.
