It's a dirty job, a photo from Fyn, East

Photographer's Note

But someone must do it - Seems I missed the Bee shots this year so its time to post an old one from last year.

The other in the series can be seen here.

Bonjour Jeppe,
un document excepptionnel pour ceux qui étudient ls abeilles et la pollenisation. On remarque à quel point la nature pense à tout.
Un document exceptionnel pas sa beauté et sa réussite technique, une macro précise qui montre des couleurs intenses quoique naturelles.
Le flash a-t-il donné ?
Compliments.
Daniel.

It is very cool how your bee seems to be dusted with gold.
Excellent details and very good composition. I really like the details on the flower too.

good work

Hi Jeppe. What a neat shot! I hope you have a good zoom lens to keep a safe distance. I've never seen a shot like this. I like the contrast between the pollen and the bee's body. Great shot Jeppe!!

Hi Jeppe
I find this better than the other picture.
Very good macro Jeppe.
Fine colours, and good sharpness.
The bee hanging nice, its very difficult to freez in the air but done well.
Indeed, a very bad summer this year for make good image of bees.
Best regards,
John

Hi Jeppe, A very well taken picture with nice contrast and details. A perfect DoF with sharpness and clarity. This is a very nice scientific picture as well as an enjoyable piece of art.

Hi Jeppe - wow, very impressive macro, amazing detail and stunning colour, out of this world, I'm glad bees don't grow this big.

Une abeille en plein travail et c'est pour nous fournir le miel. Très belle macro avec un cadrage et des couleurs au top.

Une précision dans la PDC qui inspire le respect. Je la trouve bien meilleure que l'autre. La couleur et la composition renvoient vers le coeur de la fleur et l'abeille converte de pollen. Une très belle macro. Merci.

Hmm - I think I missed the bee shot too, but I have no old picture in store. Well you managed pretty well, so I have to settle looking at this great macro, which is so detailed and close that it beats any bee I recall seeing live.
Thanks for the biology lesson,
Magnus
