[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As we all know, flowers and bees were meant for each other and that their well-being depends on this partnership. Each year I take at least a dozen of bee photos and this one is a favourite so far.

Mounted a Canon 500 D close-up filter on my 85mm lens for this photo. No tripod and no flash was used as it was a bright sunny morning. I did a bit of cropping and adjusted curves slightly in Photoshop, but that's about it.

Hello Bennett, this is a colourful shot. I like hte composition alot. I feel the bee could be a little sharper in focus but it's a very nice picture, well done.

What an intensely colorful shot! I like the composition and the sharp focus on the bee's legs. Good job
