Muy bien , Rosa. Me agrada ver que te atreves con las macros y que las resuelves bien.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
Thank you for your kind comments Jose Manuel. The bee did not like being photographed and it took me a while to get something that was in focus! When there are so many pretty flowers blooming, it seems like the macro season :)

Suele ocurrir, no porque no les guste que las fotografíen, sino porque con tanta flor de rico néctar se ponen inquietas, para ir de flor en flor a libar con gula desordenada... y cuesta enfocarlas:--)

That's true! As more flowers bloom I will get many more chances....I hope :-)

A great macro shot of the bee, Rosa. The shallow depth of field is perfect for making the subject stand out from the background. The different levels of light are very effective. Cheers, Joe

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Joe, Son of the Rock club
It has been a lovely warm and sunny day Joe. Just right for the bees and flowers, and me :-)
It took a few goes to get a decent picture of the bee, who was getting a little bit annoyed with me! Thank you for your very kind comments. Cheers, Rosa.

A cracking close up shot of the bee..................spot on focus and depth of field. It seems to have collected quite a lot of pollen. A lovely shot of the Grape Hyacinth in the PiP as well.

Coincidentally, I've been taking some photos of them today.........no bees though!
3 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you Keith. It took quite a few goes to get a decent shot. There were two bees, but one got annoyed and left! The blue of the flowers looks good in the sunshine. I look forward to seeing your pic's.

Keith Burton club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
I looked at them on the computer this morning.............and deleted them! I'll have to try again when the light is not so harsh.

Lovely to see your grape hyacinths in full bloom. Mine are only starting and it's very windy and not that warm so no bees around either. You've caught this one perfectly. So sharp and detailed with the sun highlighting it.

Thank you for your kind comments Jean. You still have the joy of these lovely flowers to come.
