[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a photo I took last summer. The little bumblebee is just getting ready to land in my wild rosebush, were he took a pollen bath. I hope that soon, my garden will begin to bllon and such lovely visitor will come again.

Hi Sky,
One of those late nights.
Well worth a big green :)
Thanks for posting, have a great weekend.

Hi Sky,
This looks excellent. Very nice saturated colors and sharp detail. Good DOF to get everything looking so good. He is so cute and fuzzy you almost want to pet him.

Hello,
Very nice shot. It seems the bumblebee flew out of focus, but though it's quite soft still some details can be seen. I like the colours and POV here.
WELL DONE!

Hello Sky,
Great job on this very difficult capture. You have perfect exposure and colors. Good detail and nice framing. A very pleasing shot.
Well done & have a Great Weekend!

Hallo Sky,
eleganter Landungsanflug!
Sehr gut komponierter Bildaufbau mit dem bunten Landungsplatz im Vordergrund.
Sehr schöne, drollige Haltung der Hummel.
Erinnert uns daran, dass Physiker nach wie vor nicht erklären können, wie eine schwere Hummel mit so winzigen Flügeln sich überhaupt in die Luft erheben kann. Ein kleines ungelöstes Rätsel der Natur - bis heute.
Mit Dank und besten Frühlingsgrüßen,
Peter

I love how you caught him in mid-air hovering like that. The splash of pink in the corner sets off the shot and balances all that bright green. A very summery feel to it, nice to look at on those wet dreary winter days, well done.

Sky, this is a nice one.

I like colors and saturation.

A great scene, a great photo.

Hello Sky...
Moment very well captured..!
You actually freeze the wing... but there is no exposure data available here...
It is nice to watch the landing technique, textbook material!

... thank you...

These bees have a unique way of polinating eh!

Also wish to add an alarming bit of news about bees! Recent reports on unusually high beekills suggest that perhaps cell phones are to blame.
Are we ignorantly committing Apidae-cide?

Like you I like these humblebees which have tricks regular honeybees do not have.

Excellent PoV here of the bee above this wild rose. It shows us so much more than just another photo of another insect... bee, b'fly, bug, what have you... Tfs, Jay

Bzzzz ! A very beautiful photo of this Bumblebee.
superb focus on all the image, fantastic green leaf detail, The flower is a nice touch too - great sharpness and details, Thanks for sharing this terrific Shot!
