Hi Alexei

A very beautiful macro with this busy little bee :)
Indeed the DOF achieved is impressive....everything is in focus :)
The colors and details are very nice, but there seems to be something wrong with the BG...the tones and color passes are a bit "lost"...don't know why or how that hapened...
Anyway the ring flash seems to be a blast!

Cheers and TFS

Hi Alexei,
An excellent macro shot! The ring flash is on my wish list. It did a superb job on the exposure here. Beautiful color saturation and very sharp detail. Great DOF with the f19 setting.

Hello Alex,
This is a great macro with excellent details and composition. I like this POV and the fact that the flower is well focused too as you can see great details on it also. I think that I photographed the same flower that I published on TL but I don't know its name. It is very nice to see the insect so load with pollen. I maybe would have adjusted a little bit the contrast. Thanks,
Claudine

Nice compo Alexei with good sharpness and amazing colors.

I like it a lot: composition, sharpness, color, POV, DOF, focus, background, lighting, framing, notes.

I don't like it: nothing.

All very well captured.
Thank you and have a nice weekend.

Hello Alexei,
a very nice, well composed and sharp picture of the bee as well as of the flower. Because these insects are 'always' very busy, it is not easy to obtain sharp pictures of them (unfortunately, I failed vey often). So, thank your for posting this picture showing that it is possible.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Alexei,
Look like somebody has to do the dirty work. Thanks to this bee for helping in fertilizing the flower, so reproductice cycle of this plant can be continued.
Great shot, great sharpness, well composed, nice details, and neat BG.

Hi Alexei,
a very good close-up with good details and nice colours.
IMO you could add a slightly more contrast, maybe it's my monitor. Good POV and DOF.
Well done.

Hello Alexei,
I don't know what I prefer : the bee or the heart of flower ;-) Nice details on the insect and also the sun seems to be in the flower. Exposure, colors, DOF and sharpness are good
Bravo my friend and thanks for sharing.

Супер-оптика, класс! Не нужен и микроскоп :) Четко видно даже мельчайшие пылинки и ворсинки. Цвета и композиция тоже очень и очень.
Всего хорошего, обязательно посмотрю твою галерею более внимательно (сейчас спешу).
Лена.
ПС. Когда ты пишешь на русском, ты выбираешь внизу в окошке русский? Если да, то лучше не надо, а то еле прочитала твой message. Я оставляю english, и спокойно пишу на русском, если надо :)
