Salut Jc
C'est le grand retour de ma couleur, un peu comme si tu avais été en manque ;-)
Outre les belles couleurs, j'aime bien cette compo ou toute l'action est concentré dans un coin de l'image et de plus j'aime bien la posture de la bestiole qui est originale. Bien vu.
Amicalement
Antoine

Bravo Jean Christophe, pas toujours facile à réaliser ce genre de photo, mais tu à réussi à faire le focus en plein sur l'insecte.
Petit bémol, je crois que l'arrière plan prend trop d'espace sur la photo.
Encore bravo
Gilles

Great shot!

Very nice composition. I like the color of the sky with the blurred flowers in the background.
Good focus too.

Bonjour Jean-Christophe,
J'ai reconnu tout de suite la vedette de ton BZZZZZZ publié le printemps dernier!
La qualité de l'image est toujours au rendez-vous avec une mise au point et une acuité parfaite.

Hi JC,

The contrast between the blue sky and the white blossems is stunning, add to that the departing bee and a square crop and you have created a picture with impact.
I like the effect of using noise reduction - so for me it is not too much.

salut Jean

A good sharp capture of the bee in action and the flower in bright light and giving good bokeh.

Even 1/1300s is still unable to freeze the wings, so amazing fast speed that a bee can flip the wings.

Hi Jean,
Excuse me if my note did not explain well.

Most DSLRs has a "fixed" shutter speed when they are attached to a flash unit. The 40D I'm using even though can go all the way to 1/8000s but when it's attached to a flash unit, its maximum speed is 1/250.

But when you switched on Hi Speed mode on the flash unit, the flash unit "obeys" your exposure setting. What it means, if your shutter speed is 1/1000s, the flash unit would still fire at that speed and not resetting the shutter speed to its autosync speed.

As for your work here Jean, may I suggest you try to get the "face". I know it is asking a lot but when it comes to wildlife photography, the face is better. U can see an example of this bee taken at face value at my Trekearth gallery.

Regards
Rabani

Waouh un arrêt sur image grandiose ! Ta compo est sobre et bien pensée.
Quant à la photo, elle est énergique, colorée et ça fait un bien fou en ce moment la couleur !
Amicalement.

Hello Jean Christophe,
this is a wonderful macro. Ilike it so much. Your POV is just fantastic. The composition perfect in my opinion. There is something almost comic in the POV as we can see only the disappearing backside of the bee.The colours show a lovely summers day. This I will add to my favourites.
