Hello Saeed
Is this what one calls, "Diving into lunch". Very interesting and 'strange' behaviour. Although the exposure might be slightly on the bright side (on my monitor anyway) the photo does not really show any significantly distracting overexposure. The bee is well in focus and the the composition is well balanced.

Hi Saeed,
Excellent capture!
You got a very sharp and clear details on this scene, did it great with your camera!
I like the pose of the insect, so busy in its own bussines.
Very good the composition made also.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Saeed

I remain impressed with the kind of photos you produce with your "unprofessional camera". Where there's a will, there's a way and you mostly seems to find the way. This bee tucking in for that extra bit of sweet nectar is rather a funny sight.

I like your composition with the flower stem running right through the centre of the shot, but the blooming flower on the left and the other 2 developing buds on the right provide excellent equilibrium to the photo. The colours are quite fine, but due to the slightly bright conditions (as also mentioned by Dyker) it might be somewhat less saturated then what it possibly could have been if you reduced the brightness just a tad. Anyway, the details are very sharp and the BG is well isolated and complimentary to the insect.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

HI Saeed,
An image full of light and softness. Though where the sharpness should be, it's okay.
A funny sight as well as Loot described so well.
Good work!

Hi Saaed,
great shot, very well timed just as the bees head is fully emerged in the flower.
Love the details, specially the pollen all over this insect.
Very well composed, the colors and framing is wonderful.

Hi Saeed,
Wonderful action shot. Very neat and sharp. Lovely soft colours. Though the light is a bit strong the exposure is nice. I like the symmetry in the shot and the POV. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Outstanding sharpness and detail for the Powershot camera. Great composition and interesting behavior by the honeybee. Also good DOF and blurred background.

Hello Saeed,
I missed this one: excellent post of a honey bee 'diving' for nectar in a leguminous flower with fine sharpness and composition of both the bee and the flower.
A great macro!
TFS and best wishes to you,

Hi Saeed.
Despite the use of rather simple camera you have taken a very nice close-up picture. I like pictured scene so much, amazing details and clear nice colours, reproduction of tiny details (especially attractive hair). Composition is great too. My compliments and TFS.
Alexei.

Hello Saeed,
Those guys will do about anything to achieve the goal!
You capture this funny situation well, sharp fine details and good clarity in colours...
The presentation is well composed, where I like inclusion of the bud!
