Few Bee shots

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

all though technically the depth of field here is too shallow, I like it! The parts that are infocus, look really sharp too.

Nice, but looks a bit hot in spots as there are quite a few highlights that have been lost.

I do like these shots - the DOF does not worry me as the content and colour are superb :D

Having tried to get a shot of a bee the other week and ending up with something that was about 40 times smaller - I'm totally spun out by your shots. What kind of lens are you using and how close were you able to get?

Nice work mate

great bee shots........ the shallow DOF does not worry me but in the second shot the gate cuts into your subject, but not a bad image......I feel lens lust for a longer macro.......well done
