Thanks for pushing me a little on this Mike. I didn't think the detail would hold up to a tighter crop, but it did. This 12MP format is so much more forgiving than my old 8. :) What I wish is that I would have got this at f/8 instead. :(

Love the details in the bee's body and wings...you did a really nice job of capturing him in the image. The image as a whole looks a bit washed out or overexposed to me. The flowers, in particular, look a bit on the hot side. You might try playing with levels or shadow/highlights to see if you could bring a little more depth to the scene.
Thanks Julie, your right. This was taken in the 3:00/102* afternoon sun and I have already adjusted levels some. Could probably use some more - selected.
