Bee Sharp

55 / 365
I take my hat off to those who do this regularly as I thought..no problem this is easy use autofocus and the bee will smile at you as he hovers and you will have razor sharp images...well dozens of shots later I caught this one. Thankfully the sun was warm and low enough to highlight the hair on his back but no harsh enough to blow out the pale flowers.

great job, those white foxgloves have worked really well

Great shot! I've tried and failed more times than I can count to get a good, sharp photo of a bee. I've ended up with a couple that were "okay" but not as sharp as yours!

Great capture I have yet to get a bee that sharp!

@shanne Thanks again Shanne
@ronah Thanks Rona, I try and shoot fully manual all the time and this made this so much harder. Even switching to autofocus didn't help and I think the saving fact was the macro lens to get the sharpness.
@alceyone Thanks Anne

Amazing detail! Sometimes I like to chase them around. It sure does take a lot of patience. Excellent capture, Andy:)

Beautiful shot - the detail is so crisp - puts my attempt a few weeks ago to shame! :)

I really like this! Looks so natural and the wing movement is great, adds a certain depth that others don't have. She looks pretty sharp to me too.
