Big Bumble Bee

[eosmurf]

I love the fluffy Bumble Bee and this was my first attempt at "shooting" one. Any comments welcome as always, I know there is definitely room for improvement but it is the practising and experimenting that is fun! I know the last one is a bit blurry but love the shape of the bee as it leaps across to another flower.

Ciara, these are really nice. I love the DOF in all and the brilliant colour of the flowers. I'm not sure what they are either.
They are sure a lot fluffier than the Aussie bees!
I love your composition in 1 & 2, with No. 2 being my favourite.
But I must say No. 4 is really cute!

Thanks Kaye,
These things are big (and fluffy) - about the size of a grape! They don't sting generally either as if they do then they lose the sting and they die. My spaniel kept running past and sniffing at this one and it wasn't bothered in the least :) I agree no 2 is probably the best of the bunch.
Cheers, Ciara
