i wonder how long you were waiting for this brilliant shot owen .. ??!!!
i just dont have the patience for setting up a tripod especially if there arent that many bees around ... like three days later and i'd still be there waiting .. lol ..
it really is an amazing photograph .. i doubt it could be improved upon in any way .. everything is perfect ..
and its interesting too . the pollen is white instead of yellow or green like around here .. must be that's he's been on white flowers .. ?? .. i havent studies flowers that much to know .. but i'v only noticed yellow and green pollen on the bees around where i live ..
anyway .. macros of insects who definitely have minds of their own (altho not with huge intellects!!) arent the easiest things to photograph well .. you've done a scorcher here .. :)

OMG OMG michelle ... !!!!
this is such a riot .. those animals do seem so full of personality ..
killer shot .. the focus and everything totally spot on . considering the difficulties you must'v been taking this under, i dont think if he'd posed for you and stayed still for minutes at a time that you could'v got a better shot .. congrats .... this is totally brilliant .. :)
