Dean, glad to see that the bees were posing for you. We haven’t had many bees this year, which is concerning. I like the crop in vertical, I think it works well here. You captured really nice details of the bee.

Nice capture, Dean. I do agree with @Shirley_Freeman on the vertical crop, but wonder if there is just a tad more information on the right that could be included? Great detail in the eye.

Excellent getting the bee so sharp – they’re difficult subjects, and DOF can be a big problem with such a small subject.

I like the crop but I think @linda_mellor’s idea is worth a look if there aren’t distractions there – maybe a squeak more on the left as well.

here is a updated image. The last step in Lightroom I do is a crop so I can always change it if needed. I kept the photo image 4x5 but this time showed more to the right and below some
