Things With Wings (118 of 365)

365_Things_With_Wings[2009]

I'm really proud of this shot for two reasons. One, I really dislike anything that stings. Two, I was shooting with my fixed 60mm lens, so I had to get pretty close to this little guy in order to get some detail! Aren't I brave? ;)

I really love how soft the flowers are and then how clear and detailed the bee is! What a shot, I would be proud too!!

Your bravery is astounding, I can think of nothing small that I give a wider berth to than wasps, and you held the camera steady too. Excellent Photograph.

Nice shot though. :-)

You ARE brave (I couldn't have done it with a spider!) And your courage was well rewarded with the wonderful detail of the photo. Honestly--it gives the bee a certain personality.

Nice shot and super bokeh. I've been trying to get a bumblebee shot and they just keep moving - can't focus in on them.
