Thomas, I'm viewing this on an uncalibrated monitor so I'm not too keen on giving my opinion on the lighting but it appears to be a little dark to me. I do really like your point of focus on the flower and the bee and you did great capturing such a quick insect at 1/400th!

Did you think about adding fill flash at all or did you do anything in pp to bring up the dark green BG at all?

Exposure looks dead-on to me (Apple Cinema Display). Great comp, congrats on freezing this action.

[Thomas Herou]

Thanks Julie and Bob.
The exposure looks fine on my screen as well (Samsung Syncmaster plus)

[Alfred Forns]

Agree with Bob ... also on Cinema Apple :)

I like the position, sharpness and how good the flower looks !!! I usually get the bug but trouble with the plant !!! Love seeing them in flight !!! Awesome !!!!

[Thomas Herou]

Thanks,Al.
It took a great deal of patience.

Very nice job with a difficult subject, Thomas! Perfect sharpness on the bee, and like the colors.
