Beautiful picture Alan, the foreground is really nice, and the bee is nice and sharp. It's a shame about the tatty wings though, but i suppose that's out of your control!

Cheers,

Dan.

Super shot Alan

Great colour and detail, very tricky insects to photograph.

Maybe a tad too much foreground, I prefer it if I crop a little from the bottom. Otherwise this is a fantastic image to view. nice one.

cheers

Great shot Alan, even with the tatty wings, inevitable at this time of the year. Perhaps a tad off the bottom as Sean says, but that is purely subjective.

Very nice image, Alan - the foreground is very nice with good colors. Just a tad more DOF on the bee would have been great.
