    Pollen balls that is.

    I have a question about the yellow, to me it looks totaly blown but when I check the histogram its fine on all channels no clipping at all just a sharp spike at that color, is it just to much of the same color yellow?

    Yellow...

    Martin,

    I think the yellow may be blown a bit as you can't make out the detail in the flower, but I think this is one of those times where blown out is ok.

    Your subject is the bee and it is captured beautifully... I think if the flowers weren't blown and you could see their detail it would detract from the bee.

    Other than that, I am jealous! I just wish I had a decent macro lens, let alone the 200!

    I think it is great. I don't think the yellow is blown. The part of the flower next to what is in focus looks good.

    This guy is really getting down and dirty. A real worker for sure. Well seen and taken image.

    No pun intended, but that guy found a gold mine.

    Beautiful and great detail. Can even see his little eye poking out of all that pollen :>)))

    The yellows look great. I agree with the first poster, if the yellow had more detail I wouldn't focus on the bee. I find yellow and reds to be very difficult to render anyway. I really like the composition in this image too.

    Thanks for the comments and feedback, what I liked about this picture was the stance of the bee. makes it look like he is working hard.
