Another excellent image Yun,
The colors and details are sweet with a good BG that makes the Bee and Sage really stand out.

Great work Yun, and the title fits nicely with this frame filling sage too.
Very pleasing to the eye

Great clarity in this image, Yun. Excellent capture of the hovering bee - and the central composition works extremely well here.

Fabulous detail, Yun, on this bee in flight, and the bee is well positioned against the nice bg. Excellent capture.

A good one, Yun. I wonder what shutter speed it takes to capture a hint of the moving wings? Intellectually, I know they are there, and that the evidence shows that 1/1600 doesn't cut it, but the bee just looks weird without some suggestion of wings.

Hi Yun,
A very challenging shot that you were able to get with your 105mm. Colors are superb and you captured quite a bit of detail on the honey bee worker out gathering nectar. Congratulations. ...............................Jim
