This one is admittedly a messy shot. The background is busy, the bee is partially obscured, and there’s just a whole lot going on in general.
But…it grabbed me. And it’s a good example of the marvelous order and disorder of the garden…and the world.
Apart from a good in-flight grab, I like the pollen bucket, the pollen on her face, and especially the tongue. If you look closely, you can see that it’s split at the end. The dangling legs are neat, too. Bumbles are kinda tough to shoot because darker colors (black in this case) – especially on the face and belly – are hard to get right with light and detail.
