[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Have to share with you another specimen of Ophrys carmeli, Mt. Carmel (“our mountain”) Bee Orchid. The entire labellum is only 15 mm long, but look at that design, that mimicry of an insect!

My technique is the same (see previous postings, please). Took advantage of very clear sunlight yesterday.

Hi Ishi,
Long time no see! You've caught a lovely speciman of Ophrys carmeli. There is a species similar down in the woods by my house. Haven't managed to get a good image of it yet as it is always in amongst the grass.Would appreciate help with the name of the flower in my latest image. Take care.
Regards, David

Another nice bee orchid picture. I like the perfect details.

Shalom Ishi, a neat and expertly taken macro capture of this Carmel Bee orchid -i think it is an endemic species for your country-. Great pov and composition too.
TFS and cheers,
Bayram

Today is the day of Israel flowers :))
This one is also a beautiful species. And you capture it very good...
Details are wonderful.

Bonjour Ishi,
Superbe macro, très finement détaillée et délicatement colorée, dans un cadrage parfait.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
