Bee........about to land (+PiP)

A bee in flight and just about to land on a St John's Wort flower..........taken in my garden. Please view large if you have time. Thank you.

The PiP shows a bee already in the flower collecting pollen taken a couple of minutes later. Not sure if it's the same bee.......there were so many around I lost track of it.

You have captured the wings beautifully in your main picture Keith. It's superb! How did you get such a smooth background? It shows the flower and bee perfectly.

Love the PiP also. The bee and flower are shown in great detail and the colours are beautiful.
Happy Tuesday.

Lovely comments as always Rosa..........thank you so much.

The background is a bit of old plaster board I used to hide my old and tatty wooden fence. I couldn't get that shot at any other angle.

Es ist ja überahupt nicht einfach,diese kleinen Insekten im Fluge zu erwischen lieber Keith,aber du hast das großartig gemacht,es sieht im Hauptbild aus,als ob sie von der Blüte reingezogen wird,toll einfach und auch in der Blüte macht die Biene eine gute Figur,auch da hast du sie sehr schön fotografiert :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Awesome captures Keith, an absolute must to be seen extra large, I can almost hear the air traffic controller through that trumpet. The details in both are incredibly sharp and the colour vivid. The pale background in the main pic gives a 3D effect and the bokeh in the PiP in contrast to the main, gives warmth and depth.

I return your 10/10 ... :-))

Both shots are beautifully captured. The main shot of the bee in mid-air is really special. Not a blur from the movement! Top shot, Keith!

Wow to have so many bees that you could mistake one for another - amazing. I love the PiP showing the details of the bee and the flower.

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Jenny McIntyre ^club

Thank you Jenny. There are lots of bees around but fewer hover flies and very few butterflies at the moment.

Ich weiß, wie schwierig es ist, Insekten im Flug zu fotografieren. Hier hat alles geklappt. Sowohl die Pflanze als auch die Hummel sind scharf und detailreich. Ich beneide dich um diesen knackigen Schuss, Keith!
