| September 1, 2009 @ 9:25am | Very nice, Flo. I thought you said you could never get macro shots in focus! That first bee is a difficult subject, even though she is slower moving than a honeybee. Those black-on-black eyes are really difficult to differentiate from the rest of the head, but you've got good focus on them. That red flower is a kick, too.
I like the second shot, with the bright yellows of the bee and pollen against the lilac-colored petals. The square crop is a good idea, too.

| September 1, 2009 @ 2:53pm | Call me crazy but when I look at the second image I can not shake the idea that this bee is a young surfer bee dude who just had some blond highlights put it.
I know... I know...
I must be crazy 
Just see it every time

| September 1, 2009 @ 6:17pm | Thanks, Rick. I do luck out once in a while. The monarda and bumble bee image was made with a 50mm lens plus a macro filter - don't remember now what its strength is. The bee in the crocus was made with my old Sigma 90mm macro before I got rid of itl
Jan, thanks for your comments.
Danny, you're just plain crazy, lol. I do love your sense of humor!

| September 12, 2009 @ 10:55am | Thanks, Trish. I am proud of these, as they are two of only a few decent macros I've been able to capture in the past year or so.

| September 13, 2009 @ 12:18pm | Yeah, I missed these the first time around. I'm glad they were brought up again in the thread.
Flo, these are great! I especially like the composition in the first one. The colors are fantastic in both.
I've gotta get a macro filter. |

| September 13, 2009 @ 1:51pm | Thanks, Marty. A true macro lens works better than macro close-up filters for regular lenses.
