Well this is closer than I ever really want to get. . .to a real bee. Those eyes are amazing to see close-up. The OOF pink flower is somewhat distracting but, hey, that's where bees are!

I like the comp, with the antenna framing the compound eye, with all that detail. That "hairstyle" makes this one look like a 1980s rock star.
I think the ability to do an "extreme crop" must be one of the nice things about the D800.

A bumble bee "cram" shot, very cool. Terrific detail in the eye. Is this a 100% view?

Great eye and great beast. This is really fascinating.

Not 100%. The eye is amazing at 100%, but that is too much to see the head and make an acceptable composition. Near 100% though.
