Tried to capture flight shot of honey bee without success in Lalbag Botonical garden in Bangalore. Settled for this.

Highly appreciate your c&C.

I love the gentle warm colors in the flowers and the background. They really help the bee stand out.

I'm highly allergic to bee stings, but I'd even let this one in my house! His perch steals the show.

I love this image, Venugopal. My kind of image with a nicely rendered subject and a beautiful background. The soft flower makes a beautiful perch for the bee, and I like the entire background. Not sure how you you got the nice tan color, but it makes a great supporting background. Well done. :toast:

Excellent detail in the bee, Venugopal, and the soft focus blossom makes a killer bg.
