I thought it was tough trying to photograph honey bees - these little guys proved quite a challenge - They are tiny native Australian stingless bees measuring only 4 mm long. I don't have a macro so the sharpness and clarity are not great but I was still happy with the shots because I think the capture the essence of these tiny bees. In this photo the one flying has pollen on his feet - I was tickled when I saw these even though it isn't the perfect shot. another image is here http://365project.org/annied/the-ones-i-left/2013-06-10 if you have the time :)
Great framing choice -- give the bees the main focus by bringing our eye into the frame and contrasting them with the golden/yellow tones. Nice composition.
@taffy I'm pleased you like it - because they are so small and were hard for me to capture I tried a few ways to make them stand out - they really are tiny lol
@luvmynynix - they are so small you wouldn't even know they were bees at first - I only recognised them because they have a hive in the Backyard to Bush section at Taronga Zoo with information about them - that was the first time I had ever seen one - oh a bee allergy must be a worry at times
