Fall is a bit of a bummer for quantity and variety of insects, but I do love the morning light this time of year. XTI, 60mm, 1/160 F10, diffused flash. C and C always appreciated

Very good shots Amy! I think I prefer 2 and 3 for the better compositions but all are great.Beautiful light and detail in all of them.

Thanks, Remus - quite a nice compliment coming from the master of beautiful light! I was pleased with 1 and 2 as well . This can be such a lovley time of year.
Many thanks, all. The ambient lighting was really in my favor, and it was still cool enough that the bee wasn't moving too fast. If I was good enough to have a "style", this is the kind of effect I would like to get repeatedly.

Excellent images Amy -looks like that EF-S 60mm is in very capable hands!
Have you considered rotating the second frame 180 degrees and cropping out the distracting bits at the corners?...
Thanks, John.
I struggle with these upside down bees...and I did not try that frame 180. I'll give it a go - thanks
Crop!! Did you suggest cropping? I just dropped my glass of wine!!
Well done Amy. I know from experience that bumblebees can be extremely difficult to get nice clean, sharp shots of because they never stop moving(busy as a bee).You captured these well.

Thanks, Jim. Very kind. must admit that it was a bit chilly, so the bee was moving rather lethargically.
