[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This drone I think was a bit lost. It seemed very intent on staying on the ground. It was crawling on the sandy gravel of a soccer field. The bee was turning in circle and looking at the sun and then directing itself. It seemed to have an idea where it had come from and where it was going but the ground was the way to go. I think the gravel makes for an interesting foreground and background.

ROFL, you posted a bee photo right before me. How funny. Nice close-up of this little guy's head.

Hi Matt,
Well composed closeup in the vertical, I like it. Well focused with sharp details, nice color, and great DOF. I think the FG in sharp focus adds here. Very well done.

Hi Matthew!
Excellent macro of a bee on the ground.
The details of the head and frontal body are remarkably sharp.

Hi Matt, nice shot. I like the composition and the exposure is good. I think the image could do with a little sharpening. I've shown the sharpening in a WS for you.
