Bee on the Stattice

Despite there being rain around the bees are still out collecting pollen. I liked how you can see some rain drops on the bee's boby.

Wow Sally. That is very good. Very nice detail. Was this handheld or on a tripod? That speed a is a little low for this length. If so, great work, I would have had camera shake for sure. Your image is crisp and brilliant. Nice DOF choice and that bokeh in the background is luscious love the subtle hues of green that streak across diagonally. ESPECIALLY when viewed on black. Nice work.

@adambralston Thanks Adam, this is handheld, but cropped severely! I'm very lazy when it comes to using a tripod.

[Adam]

@salza Me too. Such a hassle. Hope to have a very fast camera someday that can do everything digitally without a tripod.
