or actually, the reflection off of a chrome car grill. But we can imagine it is the moonlight and the bee was working late

Almost looks like she's sleeping on the job.

Wow, I'm certainly into automotive photography, but I've never thought of anything like this!

Clever stuff, Todd.

Thanks Jer! The reflection kept getting into my shots of this bee, so I decided to try to make it part of the image.

To me, that is an exceptionally well composed photo.

Don't know how I missed this one first time around!

Sneaky title - it got me too!!!

But great image! Love the way the fine hairs of the bee and the plant are back-lit, yet the image is still so well-exposed. I would have sworn you must have used fill-in flash, but the EXIF data says "No". Whatever, a very successful capture.

Thanks K2 to K50! I just underexposed it to make sure I didn't blow out the reflection and brought up the shadows in PP. It is amazing the details these Pentax sensors capture when underexposed.
