I actually took this photo with my own point-and-shoot camera at the end of summer. I was using the macro setting to take close ups of flowers and I had the color effects turned on to yellow. After just a little while, a yellow jacket came and landed on the flower I was already photographing. Normally, I would not have gotten so close to a yellow jacket, but since I was already there, it was an opportune moment. I took a bunch of photos while the bee was moving around and, after reviewing them, I found I liked its placement in this shot best. I absolutely love the clarity of the yellow jacket, especially its wing.
