Whoa! How cool is that??? Great image...very well timed with outstanding clarity...great work, Carol. #8948842Marty Straub October 05, 2010
Absolutely astounding, Carol. That is the best bee-head photo I've ever seen. Such amazing macro details and the perfect in-your-face composition. What a big (no pun) plus with that little guy under there. I definately would have missed him as I was gawking at the BIG ONE. #8949098Debra R. Harder October 05, 2010
OMG...this is something else!! The details are incredible, Carol! Love those amazing eyes. Did you ever see the movie, "Food of the Gods?" The insects somehow grow to be enormous and eat people (okay...so my taste in movies is a bit skewed...lol). This "Big Bee" looks a bit scary...at least to the little guy...I'm sure.

Wow! Amazing macro! #8956623Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010
Wow...that big bee is a giant in comparison...doesn't seem to effect little bee in his quest for pollen, though! Excellent macro, Carol...the deatails are incredible! #8957058Susan Weisensel October 10, 2010
