Bumble Bee before landing

Free hand shot with Oly E-300, 40-150mm and EX-25 ring 1/1000s, f:5.6
One of the reasons I like digital cameras for wild life photography ... the 95% + of images for the garbage bin do not ruin you

Sincerely

This one's good!
I find that particularly bumble bees are surprisingly quick, despite their big round body which should actually be far too bulky for those tiny wings to bring it up into the air at all and keep it airborne, but no! They hop from flower to flower much faster than the bees do!

Maybe, if this had been mine, I might have considered a different crop, but since it isn't mine...

Well .. crop it and put it back here ....
