Hola Jesús,
Though this required some PP work it is a fine capture both of the Meliponid Bee and the flowers that look like small fruit shown in an excellent composition with fine colours and details.
Though it would be interesting to know what this plant is I find your note good to read and I thank you both for this and for haring this excellent image,
Gracias por ver este buon trabajo.
Saludos,
Ivan

Jesus, Your effort to correct the picture has borne some fruit, but the picture is bit over sharpened , the contrast and saturation is bit on the higher side.
I liked the POV with the insect and the fruit

Hello Jesus, beautiful macro of this small bee. Good sharp focus. The minute details of the flower along with the bee are looking so beautiful. Wonderful colors and good shallow background that highlights the bee well. TFS.

Hi Jesus,
I think sometimes the cameras sensors precfer to focus on the brighter areas than on darker objects,so the flowers and fuit have come out a bit sharper.
Its pretty frustrating,huh?
Two ways to deal with it are to either use manual focus on the bee,or to focus on something else the same distance away as the bee .... but I'm sure you know this already,right?
Anyway,a good capture of this 'stingless' bee (my favorite type :)
Cheers & TFS

Hello Jesus,
Very interesting picture. I didn't know that there are stingless bee-species. Interesting frontal view on the black bee, we normally show them from the side. It is on a very special-shaped plant, would be interesting too to know what it is. Some informations on my last picture, used 400 ISO and picture made with Canon Macro Lens EF-S 60mm 1:2.8.
Thanks also very much to have put it among your favourites. I will be absent for 3-3 days, will leave in a few minutes.
Thanks a lot and take care
Anne

Un excelente documento Jesús, sobre todo para los profanos que no conocíamos esa especie. Buena explicación que se agradece.
La flor sin duda preciosa y curiosa y el insecto, como tu dices, algo justillo, aunque la cuestión es disfrutar haciéndo y también compartiéndolo.
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi Tejedor.
