Good close-up on #1 I like the angle on #3 a lot too. Nice shooting.

Thanks Brian for your kind comments on #1.
As for #3, I was trying to freeze the bee with lilies as foreground. Does it work?

Think it works very well - you need to clone out some dust spots and perhaps do a de-noise with something like neatimage with it though.

I really like the second image, it's almost 3D.
That is quite a big lillie the bee is flying over, it's like he missed the landing pad

Nice work Steplim ... Skippy

Like the #3 but only if the bee is a tac sharper, that will be perfect

steplim

Thanks Skippy,

Didn't realised about 3D effect though. about missing the landing pad. But finally found it.

steplim

Thanks David,

You are right....but not fast enough to freeze the bee. I read somewhere that inorder to freeze the wing of bees alone needs at least 1/2000s.
My main subject is to take resting bee on water lily... so a flying bee comes as a bonus.:ivar
