Great shot, Photoshop or not. Creativity is what matters. We all need to be filled with childhood wonder once in a while in our adult, mundane routine.
The clouds give great perspective, and there is just enough engine opening to to let us know that death is one slip away from one of six appendages. Traveling at 550 miles an hour at 31,000 makes for one brave bee. Hang tight little guy.

The give away is that the bee faces the wrong way. Had it been facing this way its wings would at least been standing up. I none the less like this photo.

Haha! I did not figure in the effect of the wind...that is a detail I overlooked! You are right, I could have easily turned him the other way. Thanks for taking the time to make a comment!
