Honey Bee

HB-04

I used a very shallow depth of field for this shot (f2.8) to isolate the head of the bee while leaving most of

the remainder of the image out of focus.  Since part of the flower was the same distance from the lens as

the head of the bee, it is in focus with the head.   Bees are one of the most difficult subjects since they don't

stay in one spot for very long..
