[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The blue banded bee has picked up pollen of a Passiflora foetida flower. After looking at this shot, I begin to wonder why pollen is produced below the stamens there and also the space for the insect to walk and brush along the pollen and pick a few up for pollination! How nature works! I think I should have made this image a little bit brighter. But I had the shutter speed at 1/320 as I was on plan, waiting for its shot in flight. But it was too quick. I had to manage with this sitting on the flower.

Hola Dinu.
Bienvenido a TN!
Bella flor y detalles.
Perfecto encuadre y buena luz.
Saludos, JL.

Hi Dinu,
Beautiful shot of a bee in action. Good details and colours.
Did you actually use a flash here? Although, in the "Details:" you have written that you have used a fill flash; but your "exif" information says that the flash did not fire.
You can perhaps try using WS for increasing the brightness and contrast.
Regards,
