Very impressive, Jon! Nice sharpness on the bee, plus pleasing light, interesting colors, a clean background, nice comp, and just the right amount of DOF for my taste. Very well done!

Well done Jonathan. I really like the colours and the sharpness on the bee. A little more room to the right if you have it would be preferable for my taste.

It must be quite a task to capture these little blighters in flight. Congrats! :)

Lovely -- not an easy capture. Tuning up for dragonflies in flight?

Any time now Diane, in fact the garden pond has come to life - the first damselfly emerged from its exuvia yesterday... and I got it with the new zoom lens with 1.4TC - what a flexible combination.
