appears to be sitting on the flower and NOT in flight...IMO appears off topic

it's about to land

Wow -- great shot great focus and framing

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!! Bees are extremely difficult to capture in good focus. Legs are bent. I doubt that he has landed.

but the wings are still..........usually the wings are a blur when they are flying.....!!

f2.8 and 1/800sec

Plus the depth of field difference between the bee and the flower. That bee is not on that flower.

this is absolutely amazing ! lovely colours and great shot

Beautiful! How did you take that? Is it from a ferry, a ship?

Yes, from a ferry...

awesome shot

Very nice shot-- nice exposure and framing

Sorry Friiskiwi, you are right! Thanks! I will change it...!

Love this entry, and removed my original comment so I won't confuse anybody.
Great catch.

excellent shot ! very close

There is a very cool thing about this shot: Something with the lighting and the angle makes it appear as though the birds are collated onto the background! I love this!

The birds don't look like they fit into the shot at all.

i can guarantee u that this pic is mine! Give me your e-mail, and i will sent you few shots!

agree with mperri, great shot.

actually, i did used a flash...

excellent , stunning shot ! well done

I like how the sunlight backlights the wings

great catch
