Hi, welcome to the forum. Given that i have only gotten a few bees in flight sharp, I realize this is not easy.

Good sharpness on the bee and the flower. I would suggest a vertical crop tomremove the right side as ghettos nothing going on there so it just becomes a distraction.

It would have been good to reposition yourself, if possible to get q less busy background. Also repositioning might have helped with the out of focus foreground branch.

Keeping them coming.

Hi Decio and a warm welcome.

Would echoes Roberts thoughts here, but if possible I would be tempted to get closer in, too. Perhaps even look at taking shots where the bee is actually in, or on, the flowers, as flight shots are very difficult, however you have had a good try with this one.

If they are attracted to this particular tree then why not take a small piece from it and use it as a set where you can get the background you want, closer in, where you set your camera up and even use a cable release too if you have one. These set ups can prove fun and gives you some extra addition practice too.

Look forward to seeing more.

Ciao
