nice - the wings are great!

Great shot, Johny. I like it. Just the right amount of sharpness, where it matters. Goes off to the tip of the far wing but that’s ok. Good composition, nice clear background. A winner if ever I saw one.

Wowsers! I couldn't see the image of the photographer in the left eye but I did see it in the other eye. Then I realized you are talking from the bird's perspective. It looks you were hand holding. What kind of lense was that? You were how far away?

Very nice - thanks for sharing with us Norfolk Mike!

Very small file Mike, but I think the edge is of the sharpness on the bee, if so, a pity. Correct me ?. Ed.

Bees are difficult to photograph Ed. The only sharp bit is the bit in the tail.

This was one of a series which are sharp in full size. I overdid the resizing when I posted, see http://www.flickr.com/photos/98135571@N0...5431832569 for the full size photo's. I also cropped out some of the unwanted flower for the Shutter upload.

Excellent Mike, and, to me, sharp. Ed.

That's some shot, I know how hard it is to get one like that, not to mention the patience required
