These really are more snapshots I suppose. Unable to isolate the subject as much from the background due to their positioning.

A lovely little Black and White bee

    Good "snapshots" Ian :)
    Last shot is a Hoverfly - I think Cheilosia species

    Hahaha Thanks Brian.

    I guess snapshots sounds a little obnoxious. I think if I don't manage to isolate the subject so much with a shallower DoF, I'm not as happy hehe but probably in all fairness, busier backgrounds are as important as some that aren't :D.

    Cheers.

    As they say 1 bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush. I really like the last frame. Nice shot!
