As always, excellent capture! How do you do it?
Hey Gus, very nice pose, good details and good BG. Well done as usual.
Hi Gus. Nice comp and good background and I like the bits of pollen on the front leg. Thought I'd mention that this is actually a fly rather than a bee. There are lots of flies that are mimics of bees or wasps and this is one. :)
Bee or Fly ?? It's still a very lovely composition with nice lighting.
Looks like he is resting to me! :D Detail is superb. Color is excellent. background is very soft in a positive way. Nice job. Keep hangin' around here and we'll make a macro photographer out of you yet! :D:p:cool:
