BEE ON PINK FLOWER

This is another picture of a very small bee (1cm) we find here in the desert.
I have been trying to use Sigma 105mm macro once in a while on odd things like new leaves on the fig or sometimes a bee like this one when available.
In this macro, I have tried to focus attention on the horizontal stripes of different colours on it body.

Thanks for looking.

Hello Sir,
Another colourful picture from you. This one has given excellent details of the stripes of the bee. those white stripes are infact small hair, isn't it? great job sir and thanks for sharing.

Hello ram,
When I saw your previous post of this species of bee I thought it might have been a species of Anthophora genus, a Solitary or Mining Bee. Now you show the back view I'm even mmore convinced, the white bands in particular suggesting it. In this respect it resembles the genus of bee I posted about three months ago from the Canary Islands.
This is a sharp and well composed shot, the highlighting technique being something I haven't tried myself yet.
TFs and best wishes, Ivan

Hello ram,

Hi Ram,
I really like the high quality of this image!
Details got on the insect are razorsharp and cristal clear.
The light reflection on the back of the insect adds and excelelnt accent to the image.
I like so much the color contrast between bee and the beutiful light purple of the flower.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Ram,
At least you seem to have some nice flowers in Riyadh to attract little insects like this beautiful bee! The previous one was excellent this one is interesting as you show us the whole body with its beautiful stripes. It's very similar to the one we saw on Lanzarote.
YOu show very sharp details and lovely colours from a nice vantage point. Beautiful flower too.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hola Ram,
Pues este macro me parece muy bueno, quizás con un F/ mayor y viendo la abeja de frente, estaría mejor, pero aún así me gusta. Un cordial saludo
