I noticed this little bee near my garden pond, it was so tired I had chance to get my tripod and flash. All C&C welcome.

Hi Jon, well done in achieving this, especially in what appears to be a tight turnaround it getting set up.

Amazed at 1/40, but the flash really worked well, nice techs & DoF. I just wondered about a little less below and a fraction more above on a 16 x 10 format? On the laptop it looks a bit flat, but that isn't a good yard stick.

It's nice when you find a cooperative subject like this! Excellent sharpness and detail within your DOF plus pleasing colors and comp. Very nicely done!

Hi Jonathan, Very nice shot, great DOF, nice defused flash, the flower colors just adds that extra pop to the image, Great Job!!
