Re: PAW - Bee and Flower Pic ;-))
Two beekeepers are chatting. One says to the other, ' So how many bees do you have then?' The second beekeeper answers, 'Oh about twenty thousand'. The first says, 'Twenty thousand, eh? Right. And so how many hives do you have?' The second answers, ' Ten hives'. The first says, 'Ten? Hmmm, twenty thousand bees, ten hives. Hmmm.' He nods approvingly. The second beekeeper asks, 'So how many bees do you have?' The first says, 'Me? Oh, I've got about a million.' The second beekeeper looks surprised. 'A million! Holy cow, how many hives do you have?' The first answers 'Oh just the one hive'. The second is astonished. 'A million bees and only one hive???' The first pauses and thinks, realising the gravity of the situation. He says 'Yeah well. Fuck 'em, they're only bees...' Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _

Mind you, the "3D" effect here isn't as noticeable as in Shel's friend's shot, just because the background in that one is farther back from the bee. But I like the composition (and the second bee) in your shot maybe a bit better. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson

The problem is that these little guys don't just hover they are always on the move and they move pretty fast in macro terms. I've shot very similar shots with varying success sans flash.

Well, maybe, but a slower shutter speed would have required more DOF, and that may not be so good for this photo.

If I had to find something to critique, I'd suggest that perhaps a slightly slower exposure, with more blur on the wings, would be even better. But that's gilding the lily.
