BEE ON RED

I tried this macro of the usual bee seen here yesterday afternoon.
The bee was busy on a red rose, going in and out of its thick stack of petals. It was a game of patience since the bee would disappear completely inside the flower and when it came out, it stopped only for a second on the flower and then flew away. Fortunately, it kept on repeating the same routine for quite some time. I took many potshots at it rather hurriedly and this is the only one of those I thought was tolerable.

Thanks for looking and regards to all.

Amazing macro work, Ram. The detail and sharpness on the bee are impressive. Love the composition and the hues of pink that provide wonderful contrast. Very well done.

Hi Ram.
I like this little head emerging from the sea of pink :)
You took very well advantage of DOF to make a very nice composition.
Lovely capture, TFS.

Hi Ram,

It’s amazing to see your pictures transforming into gems! Great colors and the I like the way you have chosen the POV. The color of the bee stands out well in a sea of red/pink and that adds punch to the picture. The sharpness is superb

Hi Ram

This is really good. The front part of the bee stands out very well and the red is a refreshingly 'different' background. TFS
