Comment by Dave Gordon:
A crop for more bee and less flower would improve this very nice shot.

Nice catch, I know from experience it isn't easy. Could be sharper, though.

Comment by faidoi:
The slighting blurring of the bees' wings and the body really help to give it a dynamic feeling of motion and flight. I can't believe the great focus you were able to achieve on the bee. The great depth of field helps make the bee pop out even more from the shot.Nice colors in the flowers. Great details there also.

Comment by kiwiness:
The composition is good, especially with the bee coming in from the upper-left. The bee is sharp and focused, but the dark background seems to be competing too much and is taking a lot of the glamour away from it. The flowers are blurred somewhat, which is a little on the distracting side as my eyes keep wanting to look down in the lower-right corner.

Stop action capture of the bee's wings is outstanding.

You've really caught this bee. Good job. I do think the bottom 1/3 could of been cropped out and the bee could of been a bit more in focus. Not sure what all you had to deal with when shooting this.....so giving you the benefit of the doubt...this is very good..and it shows flight.

I like how you captured him in flight, he seems to be suspended in mid-air...good job!

NICE and close. Light's a little harsh though.
