I like the head and the activity you captured. Good behavioral shot! The dark wings and rear blend into the background in a not-so-good way--Is this just my monitor, or is it "real"?

Great shot with good action. The shadow highlight too in PSCS will help to separate the bees wings from the background.
Thanks for posting,

A nice cute bumble bee. I do wish for more of him in focus though.

A little more DOF would have been nice, but other than that this is a very cool looking shot!
