Bee on a Thistle, The Aviator!!

[digiman]

When out walking the other day I took these. I've only just had a chance to process them. Loved the look of the eyes. Reminded me of aviator sunglasses you used to see around. I think it's a bee, but it may be a hover fly. Shot handheld, with a 70-200f4L

These are brilliant Gary, see what you mean about the sunglasses, works so well with the colour of the Thistle Flower.

I was'nt aware you could get in that close with that lens... I must try it.

You can't! It's cropped quite heavily, about 50% maybe.....
.....or should that be 200%
