Honey Bees

Not much happening in the garden lately, but the bees seem to be enjoying the Moonflower.

Excellent focus and contrast, Dan. A touch brighter would've been good IMHO.

+1 on the focus Dan - very sharp. I also thin a little more light (maybe a slight curves adjustment would help).

Thanks Kenny & John. I agree with you, they are a little dark. These are basically straight out of the camera.

Nice work, that lil guy in the second image is making a mess out of himself.LOL : )

Thanks James. I think they were doing a pretty good job of pollinating the flowers.

I like the lead image best for its view of the bees head. Also like the bits of pollen about the bee. I realize these are closeups, but I think they should either be closer, or a bit further back to includes all the body parts.
Just my two cents :)

Thanks Howard
