Angy (Angybone) is always very kind to me about my macros so I thought I'd dedicate one to her :-)

Please refer to my last post for info on this Bee Fly.

I hope you like it!

Well put Joey...she is a very special lady...and she knows her heart, and herself as much as anyone I have run into on the net. She has been a kind and generous person to me..and I am willing to bet many others...She is most deserving of this fine close in image which you have designed just for her...Very nice Joey...very nice.

This comes close to micro instead of macro Joe.
Great dedication to Angy.

Love the contrast and soft BG color tones.
Perfect work. TFS!!!

Cheers, Harry

Hi Joe!

I fear the worst: if you continue to take so close macros in such a sharp manner, the day will come where that terrible beast will bite me through the screen... since I look at your magnificient and so realistic pictures, I keep a certain distance from my computer... one never knows!

:-)

Kind regards

Markus

Hello Joe,
Amazing your close-up! Excellent sharpness, the finest details are visible. I also like the very artistically combines colours of this shot. Just great!
Anne

Hello Joe,
This is an impressive close-up, stunning colours and sharp details!
The insect stands out as very natural, and gives a strong impact as we never get this "close" with our eyes...
Tight framing works well with me, good feeling of depth!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Joe,
This is impressive and so close! Details are amazing and so are composition, exposure and use of flash! I don't have the good macro lens to do this kind of picture. Well done!

Hi Jo, what a splendid compiition for a dedication to Angy. She truly deserves this one.
The shot is so innovative and very neatly done with lovely colours, details and sharpness. I locve the striking contrasts between the brown and the violet colours in the frame.The eye and horn of the bee stands out sharp.
Very well done.
TFS & Cheers
