Nice work on the freeze action Mark.
Got to love those bold contrasting yellow and blues.
Simply and effectively composed too.

[eaglem]

Excellent clarity and good composition.

[P Plates]

Looks good Mark and wow look at those huge pollen sacs on his legs. Not a bird but it still flys

[Mark L]

Thanks for them comments Jo, eaglem and Glenda.
(wish there was another way to say thanks without bumping the thread)

[Ironwood]

Nice clean image Mark, good to have other options when the birds are not playing.

What a lovely shot Mark. You showed great skill in capturing this so effectively.

My only thought is to maybe crop an inch or 2 from the bottom. Who knows.

That's a ripper Mark - a "keeper" so to speak! I did a crop to Landscape and had the middle of the bee disected with the true ROT top left and it looked peachy! Just a thought. It's a great picture whichever way you look at it.
