Absolutely amazing that you were able to capture this bee in flight. Love the colors and the details are good. I only wish that the bee were not placed smack dab in the middle. I think I would place the bee up and left using the rule of thirds for your composition.

Hi Joshi. Excellent work capturing this colorful bee in flight! Very nice sharpness. I'm impressed that even at a ss of 1/3200 there is still motion blur in the wings. I would agree with Marina about moving the bee off-center and you might try some noise reduction on the background to try and smooth it out a little. Very well done!
