Thanks Karen!

5/25/2005 9:24:09 AM

ROTFL, that is great. I think the DOF was good, and the composition is great. I'd be nervous personally, taking pictures like that as I'm allergic to bees, but it is a great picture!

5/25/2005 9:34:03 AM

Thanks, Sara! My little brother is highly allergice to bees too. If he gets stung he's off to the hospital. They are fatal for him. I don't worry about too much about critters. I love'm all!

5/25/2005 12:55:45 PM

Wow!! What a great macro, Lori!!

5/25/2005 8:02:52 PM

Well, thanks so much, Thy! Coming from you it means a lot! I just love your macro shots!

5/26/2005 6:41:35 AM

And what was your reply to Mr. Bee?? Great detail in this image Lori. I wouldn't get that close to a bee!!

5/26/2005 7:19:56 AM

Oh, wow, wow, wow! I would be so nervous to try this! I am so scared of bees, wasps, I don't get near anything that can sting. I love this photo, though, because I think bees are cute, in a photo at least! You did a spectacular job, it's a really great photo!

6/11/2005 6:56:15 PM

This is a fantastic macro, Jenny! Love the colors and detail...excellent!

Good close-up shot. I like the humor with the title - we look at so many images each month, an interesting or fun title can really add a lot.

6/20/2005 3:56:39 PM

I'm so glad you like my bee shots. This bee was so very cooperative that I had to seize the moment. This one reminded me of a child raising it's hand in class! hehe
