The Humble Bee

Wow, this image caught my eye above the nearly 1,000 images. I like the negative space in this image which brings forth the bee and the brilliant colors of the cone flower. Nice detail and wonderful composition. Thank you for your participation in my contest.

This fellow looks like someone who you could sit down and share a brew. Thanks for bringing out the personality of this wonderfully hard working bee. Your image is incredibility sharp and brings the viewer into a different world. Thanks too for participating in my contest.

Tack sharp image of an industrious bee stands out of the pack as a prize winning photograph. Great job of capturing the bee at work. Great use of the fast shutter speed and aperture which creates a wonderful depth of field. Thank you for your participation in my contest.

The composition of this image sets it apart from almost a thousand photographs. The bee is slightly offset and staring directly at the viewer. Wonderful use of a high aperture (F 8) which brings forth so much detail. Nicely done! Thanks for participating in my contest.

Fantastic macro of the humble bee! This image gives one the impression that the bee might be a menacing opponent. Although he can be a fierce defender of his hive, most times he works hard to bring food back to the colony. Great image to show off the personality of this noble insect. Thank you so much for your participation in this contest.
