Thank you so much. It took me a long time. Not as sharp as I would have liked though.

Location
I took this image in my back garden at our quince tree.`Time
Around 4pm in the afternoon.Lighting
The sun was beginning to setEquipment
I used my Nikon D3200, Nikon lens AF-S 28mm-300m 1.35 -5.6, no tripod just hand held, no flash.Inspiration
I love nature and even though it is a challenge trying to capture a bee in flight, I still continue to try and capture them in motion. I am totally overwhelmed by the response I received for the image.Editing
All I did to this image was crop it and sharpen it.In my camera bag
My Nikon D3200, Nikon 28mm - 300mm lens, Nikon 18mm - 55mm lens, Micro Nikkor 40mm 1:2.8 G.Feedback
I shot this on Automatic and one needs patience to stand a long long time to capture something like this unless you are lucky. It did take me about 45 minutes to an hour to get this shot. Also you need a steady hand as it is not really possible to use a tripod, because the bee is constantly on the move. I am grateful that this bee seems to fly around and then come and hover over a blossom (in a similar area every time) so you just need the patience to wait for it to come back, and back, and back again, over and over again, but it is rewarding in the end.
