    Playing with the bees in flight at the Fruit and Spice Park. Manual focus, pre-focusing on the flower and adjusting as they came into view. Not an easy task.

    I love it too...next you'll be into DIF (dragonflies in flight), but not with manual focus!

    Cheers!

    Wow! Manual focus - I'm impressed. Great view of the bee and the full pollen sacks are a plus. Well done.

    Those two pollen sacs got me giggling, Fabs. I bet that bee has trouble finding pants that fit! hahaha

    What a neat image! If you had included the entire head of the flower I think I'd pass out from it being so perfect. The colors of that flower strike a great note to the pollen sacs. Neat, neat image.
