Another fantastic bee shot, how do you get a sharp image, that size under 100k.
Did you sell your soul to someone with horns and a pointed tail???.

Top 'bee shot' of the year, as far as I'm concerned - a cracker!

Great work again Rog. I still haven't achieved a decent shot of a bee and you make it look so easy.

I don't often comment on pics here but in this case I will.... that is a stunning shot Roger. Really impressed I seem to recall you use Sony kit, but what lens did you use and how close did you have to get to the little rascal?
