Another great well detailed Macro from you Clay. I like the comp you chose here. I've notice from this shot and some other of your Macro's that you use a smaller aperture than I normally do and get great detail. I will take note of this and practice it myself. Thanks for posting your specs and helping me out. :smile:

Great DOF and details, and I like the warm, golden colour. Comp is great too. Excellent!

Hi there, I must say that i'm jealous of this shot! I've spent days trying to capture good pictures with bees. They're not easy to work with. Gotta be the right time and place, and/or patience, and you've got it! Congrats.
