persistance pays off eventually

very good, light looks great.
have you run noise reduction on background?

AlexWild

Thanks guys!

I did run a moderate noise reduction on the background, as ISO 2500 isn't pretty.

The lighting took some time to get right. This shot was captured with a low sun shining through a thin overcast as backlighting, with fill provided by ambient light reflected off the front of the white beehive.

The flying bee shots are hit or miss in terms of getting perfect focus. Great Capture!!

Thanks for sharing the Exif data, and I enjoyed looking at your portfolio.
