    Good series- esp like the bee shots :)

    The chafer beetle shot has a good angle but is a little dark (presumably because of the highlight) - you may be able to lighten it in PP without totally blowing the highlight.

    I wish the bees around here were fluffy like yours
    Don't you just love the way they grab hold of the flower and force their heads as far inside it as they can.

    Having fun is what it's all about clap.gif Good For You thumb.gif

    Thanks very much for the comments Brian and Skippy, they are appreciated.
    Brian ... I lightened up the beetle (now) as much as I could, it does start to blow out going any further. I appreciate the tip! bowdown.gif
