Hey! It's good to see you!

Did you touch up the color on this? It's sure vibrant.
The insect looks like some kind of honeybee to me, but the color is all wrong...

Green Hornet? ;-) I don't know if there is such a thing as a Green Hornet, but I get points for an obscure comic reference.

You are totally right!

I also posted this to an entymology group and it was identified as Agapostemon splendens AKA Sweat Bee.

You are such a geek to know or even know how to find that.

Did you blur the background or shoot it with a challow depth of field? It looks amazing. Wonderful color pallette.

This is just a shallow depth of field. A lovely result of the f/2.8 aperture. Thanks for the compliment. Now I just hope it will be accepted into the show and then I hope that I will sell about 10 of them.

And while I've got you, accept my friend request on MySpace. ;-)

Okay.

You got my vote. That's a bee-u-tiful photo.
