I like how those antennae (or whatever the term is for them) are raised.

Was right in his face with the 35mm. Seemed a little agitated but I guess it was too cold for him to want to fly off. Atypical? Did not know there was a standard to follow.

You're getting a back-off look there DW58...fine image.

Very fine photo there, regardless of how active the bee was.

Great 3D effect, aided by nice bokeh and perfect focus. A fine image, with the frontal orientation getting almost personal with the bee. Thanks.

Usually we see a bee from the top -people don't uually get a face-to-face meeting with one of these

Sorry. Almost missed you photomax. I think you pretty much summed it up well with the "back off" line. Would not disagree.
