Beautiful perspective and composition. Love how you caught the bee coming in and hovering like this. The colors are super, Ronald! #3050658Tamara K. Walker July 19, 2006
Fantastic capture and color. #3050676Nina Shields July 19, 2006
Ronald, great timing on your part; one of my goal's is to get a bee in flight, haven't been successful yet but you've inspired me to keep trying; great work! #3050733Ronald F. Fischer July 19, 2006
Thank you very much Bill, Tamara and Nina! #3050742Tamera S. Phillips July 19, 2006

Perfect timing and landing :-) #3051191Bridgette B July 19, 2006
What a great action shot!!!!!! #3051259Pat Gamwell July 19, 2006
I'm soooo envious, Ron! (not really!) I can't even get a shot of something standing still let alone MOVING! AWESOME action shot, my friend! FABULOUS! #3051671Ronald F. Fischer July 19, 2006
Thank you very much Jill, Bridgette and Pat! #3051680Su Sana E. P July 19, 2006
Perfect catch with fantastic wide crop, Ronald!! Don't you just love doing close ups and macros? #3051722Ronald F. Fischer July 19, 2006
Thank you very much Susan; I certainly do enjoy close up work and macros! I have found that it is much easier to get flying insects with my 70-200 Canon L f/4 lens. I can sit back about 4 feet from the subject, with the lens at 200mm, and get a pretty decent close up! #3051758Kay E. Mahoney July 19, 2006
