    Hi David, I'm surprised they can still fly with all the extra weight of pollen being carried Well captured as always and a good flower you caught him on.

    Keep them coming.

    Very well captured, David - lighting, focus, composition all spot on.

    Goood to see you back in action David. I really like this image, the honey bee is VERY cool but what I really like Is the way the Flower seems to have made its own vignette.. Very awesome.

    David,

    Sorry for being such a pain in the ass. A little more sharpening and a tad more contrast – perhaps.

    Nice capture.

    David - lovely capture. what settings and lens were you using - apologies I can't ever seem to capture the exif data on posts or I would look myself. Also, as I have been experimenting with photostacking I'm interested to know if this is just one shot or more than that ?

    Thanks
    Kaye

    Re: Worker Bee

    Hi Andre,no pain was felt,i actually backed off with the sharpening and contrast because at 1-1 it looked too much,but your version definately works

    Cheers David

    Re: Worker Bee

    Hi Kaye,no probs i have the same bother as you,i can never get other members exif either

    This is just one shot,handheld,i was using a Canon MPE 65mm lens at 1-1 mag,F14,ISO 200 and 1/200sec shutter speed,i also used diffused flash!

    Hope this helps

    David
