Old Timer, I love the colors in this photo, and the depth of field works perfectly for this shot. I can't wait till things start to blume around here. The trees are just starting to bud!

That looks good, nice focus, nice colours - but the more in-focus leaf lower right distracts me. I keep getting drawn to that from the bee and back again.

Hey OT,

Another spectacular image of yours. Thanks.
Tim

p.s. Don't get stung now....

Good point about the leaf. To be honest with you I hadn't noticed it. I'll try and do something about that on the next version.

Thanks for the kind comments Tim and Michael. I really like this type of photography and have a hard time waiting for Spring.

I forgot this isn't critique
I tried something like this and failed abysmally to get the depth of focus.

No problem with the observation, glad to have it. I will admit that this was one of about a dozen hand held images that I took of this general scene. This was the only one that I felt good enough about to want to post. Other were just not as sharp. Those bees move around rather quickly.

I spent about 20 minutes chasing them around flowers last year at a coach stop on the way to F1 testing. Only got this one that was just out of focus

Awesome catch OT!!!!

I love the colors and the detail!

What lens did you use?

Hey OT - you and Spring get along very well......I love your flower shots and you didn't let us down this time.

I LOVE the colors and the bee is sharp. I agree with the leaf being only slightly distracting as it resembles the bees wings somewhat.

But it doesn't take away from the image.

Thanks - and I look forward to seeing more Springtime.

OT,

Lovely shot. Great colors and don't get too close to them

This image was shot with the Nikkor 105mm. I have had a ball with it since purchasing it used about a month after I got the D70 last spring. I am at the one year anniversary of the D70 and am still very much thrilled with it. One of the best photographic moves I have ever made.

Thanks to Liz and jar_e who commented on this photograph gald you liked it Spring is sucha wonderful time to take photographes.

I have several just like this. They are just off enough that you can't really be thrilled with them. Sure a lot of fun chasing those little critters around though.
