Wish I COULD have voted in the bee contest..this shot is AMAZING! the clarity and detail of the body, plus they eye..that part really got me! It seems the bee is watching you watching him. The beautiful flower is a gorgeous backdrop for the main subject! I can't wait till all our snow is gone this winter, I'm so ready for spring! I live in Maine and we have some pretty interesting insects here. Have a nice night and good luck in the contest!
