I forgot I had only left a few shots on my second card this is one that was not fixable it was off the card but getting 5 in the frame had me jumping around and scaring bees [this one has some sharpening done ]

Thank you all again

Wow - what a beauty!!!!

Huge congrats to jwear for an awesome catch, also to the other winners and the people who voted for me this time round. I've had a lean spell to say the least so far this year, so it is great to get an image that hits the spot for other people.

Congrats, Jeff! Nice SOOC work for sure!

And congrats to the top five and all who participated. This is the biggest field of participants since I've been here (I know... not that long). It's great to see so many cool ideas!

Thanks to everyone -well 38 of you anyway I was very lucky this round. I do like playing in the challenges and it does add to what I love to do but my shots are all in the same realm. So I post what I think works for the theme and do not have the comp skills or the PS skills many of you have . This round with all the great shots and so many thumbI am very proud of the win. The comp of my shot was something I think I learned here by looking at winning shots more than anything else. I would have picked a different shot but this time I ask myself what would they like and that is the shot I looked for . We all love our own work but when others say ---WOW that is a good shot -well that is a great day :cry thank again Jeff ON TO 80

Beautiful shot of the bees and yellow flower!

I can only dream of ever taking a shot like that myself. I didn't read all the responses, so I might be repeating what someone else asked. How do you take a picture like that? I'm not even sure my camera could do that.
