Good Morning Ram - though afternoon for you!

Lovely shot of the bees. I think having one in focus (beautifully) and the other out, conveys the sense of melee in the title. Also like the lighting here very much.

Bonjour,
Décidemment, toutes les abeilles du monde se mettent au travail !
Bonne journée.

A tremendous shot. Love the detail of the wings.

The camera and lens really compliment one another.

bonjour ram
dans la mesure ou une des deux abeilles n'est pas dans la zone de focalisation il aurait peu etre fallut couper la photo pour ne garder que celle du bas ou fermer plus le diaphragme,enfin cen'est que mon avis.

Hello Ram,
To be, or not to Bee: That is the question :)
Your flash has helped to bring out some nice sharp detail. If I might? Two cents worth you know ;)
I rarely shoot an insect at ISO 100 because I can never get enough DOF..My post today is @ ISO 500..Even so, I could've used more DOF.
Well done mf.

Hello Ram,
Excellent details and exposition. I guess bees have really hard work to do under the southern sun on Arabian Peninsula. You also did a good job in saving good details under such a strong light.
Best greetings,
Michal

Hi Ram.
Very interesting close-up. The reproduction of the nearest bee is great. All features of the shot is very good too. I think you can use ISO 400. You have excellent camera with in-built noise redactor. In this case you may increase the DOF up 2 stops. I personally often apply such ISO and feel more freely selecting exposure parameters. My compliments and best wishes.
Alexei.

Hello Ram,

Thanks for your critique, really can't wait till I get a proper chance to use the new lens!

This bee shot was well spotted and a great opportunity for you. The bee on the left is incredibly sharp and jumps out the screen at you, the one on the right less so but gives a nice contrast to our subject.

Regards
Simon

p.s how do you get you Exif data to be able to copy and paste? I can't seem to do it, only have CS2 and not NX.
