bee
Funny, I just read that there are no native honey bees in Canada (Ontario?) all having been imported from Europe, and that there are tens of types of native non honey producing bees native to Toronto (most nearing extinction apparently in the great bee disappearance crisis) and voila this never seen by me before bright green bee robbed my balcony flowers of some pollen as I sat having lunch today.
Quality not great -- hand held the macro lens in windy conditions. Having said that, this IS a good time to point out that if you click on the photos on this site you see a larger version.

I dont' know what you mean when you say 'quality not great' I would argue that what you see as quality, and what the rest of us do, are two different things.
So on behalf of your fans, stop saying it. It's a lovely photo, save the modesty for your camera-geek friends, and let the rest of us enjoy a lovely , bright, pic.

Thanks. In terms of colour and contrast I think the shot is stellar (ahem, if I do say so myself)and you are right that is more than enough. The question about quality comes from the fact the shot is a macro shot which demands utmost focus sharpness and clarity -- that's the point, really, of getting int that close -- and this shot is not nearly as sharp as it could be. Crisper focus and you'd be able to count pollen grains and bee hairs and you WOULD notice the difference (camera geek or no).
But, again, the end result is something else entirely acceptable and enjoyable. And it makes a fine screen saver :)
