I have not been able to get out much and shoot lately (I know, excuses, excuses ) but here's a shot of a bee collecting some pollen in the late afternoon.

Canon 7D with tripod, Canon 100mm macro, Aperture Priority, 1/800sec, F/4, ISO 100. Cropped away about 30% of image.

Large image included.

Thanks for looking and all C&C welcomed.
John

John:
I enjoyed looking at this image, esp the larger version which is much better. Good pose from the bee and nice sharpness of the eye. Nice contrast between bee and perch. Lovely bg as well.
