Number one, close in on bee,
followed by number two, a bit more plant, less busy than the others.

Oh the First One without a doubt.....the close-up and the color of the almost-fur-like quality of the Bee is exquisite to me. It is definitely a WINNER in my opinion. I would put it on my wall...no question.

I agree with the others--1 and 2. How do you do it? Every time I get that close I get stung.

I use a medium range telephoto lens with extension tubes. Or use a medium range prime lens with extension tubes. Keeps you a bit away from those things that bite or sting. Anyway my friend "Buzz" likes having his picture taken.
