I love this. It embraces so much. From predestined instinctual traits. To the loveliness of nature. It embodies calm and drive all at once.

I like the flower more in focus than the bee. It shows sanctuary and survival. What we "bees" all seek. The nectar of life. This speaks poetry to me.

The perfection of the flower illuminates this picture.

I'm not a huge photographer but regardless it speaks to me. The bee out of focus is telling me that the bee could be anything...or anyone. Another day, another flower. The shadowing of the flower is beautiful. Simple beautiful.

A great image from the a honey bee's perspective. The antennae, legs and stopped wings are fairly clear and are at an angle that seems balanced in the photograph and give an aeronautical reality to the bee's journey to and fro. Soft, blossomy textures, tones and colours abound and the magenta 'colour cast' hints at a hazy summer, evocative of light from above, through petals and adds to the 'thu the bee's eyes' effect. The background is enticing and reminds one of dew, but it could be a little better, at least around the bee's righthand body half where it interacts or clutters too much. Wonderful stuff and refreshing to see a careful image with retro-colours that is at a higher resolution than most churned out by Androids and iPhones. The black border is interesting, but may detract from the image. A permanent feature?

to capture a moment like this to me is very rare indeed, i can almost feel the warmth of the sunny day, the smell of the flower and the gentle humming of the bee. love it

Wow! How did you do this. A flying bumble bee photographing is extreme! The whole overview reminds me about dreams. It has some blur and such beautyness.., Thanks for making this.
