Excellent images... was the light very harsh?

[RobFellows]

Hi Nandakumar, it was full sun and flash so yes it would be quite harsh. It was (still is) quite windy too. Not really ideal for this stuff.

[RobFellows]

Wind died down a bit, here are some more....

[Wavelength]

they are all very nice shots...liked them all !!!

[bnnrcn]

Although #5 is my fav, I enjoyed watching them all

[Geoff F]

Yes, they all look good.

[DanK]

Very nice. I know how #(%*@! hard it is to get good BIF shots, so congrats on those.

Knowing absolutely nothing about bees down under, I'm struck that most of your bee shots are honeybees. Are they native there? They aren't native here, but in many places, one seems more of them than native bees, of which there are a huge number of species.

[Shadowman]

Nice series.

[TonyW]

These are very nice. My guess is that #2 and #3 are native bees. Am I right?

[RobFellows]

Hi Tony, yes they a type of native bee (maybe someone on here might enlighten us as to which specific type?) and the first one of the second set is the same subject taking a break.

[IzzieK]

Rob...you do not mind if I ask you to number your images? It was hard trying to scroll backwards and forwards just to take another look-see. Anyway that taken cared of....

#2 and #3 looks like the same bee but different side shots...
#4 is most beautiful...but is it possible for you to clone that white part of the flower...clone, not lessen the highlights.
#6 is my favourite -- the pose of that bee is excellent and really a good capture. If I will caption that, it will say : "S-S--S--CREETZZZZZZ!!!"
#7 is very nice too...in fact, it is perfect. I still like #6...I've made up my mind to fall in love with that one...OK?

Meanwhile on the second batch, my favourites are the two last ones...I will not scroll upwards to count how many there are in that batch...but I know I like the two spiders (as long as it is not inside my house...) Did you notice it resembles one of those chimps? or what do you call it? Apes? And nicely caught too. I better go back to bed...I am starting to see things... You Aussies wakes me up early...I will be back when you go to bed.

A couple of nice sets Rob. All beautifully sharp and some great colour from that Tamron macro. No. 4 of the second set is my standout. Might be worth a crop left and bottom to put the beasty on the bottom left third.
