Great in-flight catch, Scott. Good sharpness in the bumble bee, nice color and background. I like the profile view of the bee and flower.

This is terrific! Kind of strange to see the bee floating in mid air.

Neat photo Scott! It has an "otherworldly" feel to it for me. I like the colors and composition.

Looks great, Scott. The flower shows well and I like the spacing between the bee and the flower. Excellent job getting the bee sharp. The background is great as well. I prefer this one to the earlier view because of the extra space between the bee and the flower. Both show great patience and perseverance on your part.

I like the reds that dominate the frame, and the flowers yellow center is a real bee magnet
