[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This might not be my sharpest insect capture but I'm really happy with it because it's the first I caught in actual flight, with an acceptable degree of sharpness. When I uploaded the shot from the camera card to the computer, I realized that one of the bee's legs was actually touching the flower - that's the reason behind the title

Hi Mark,
It is exciting moment to see this bee landing. Very good POV. TFS

Hi Mark,
Nice attempt and well composed. I remember my first bee inflight capture..it's a difficult task. I think your plane of focus is good, It just looks like your DOF was not enough, because parts of the flower are in, with the bee falling outside...Use flash if you can &
Keep em' comin' :)
