The detail is impressive,especially with all that visible detail in the bee's eye.
Love the perch and composition too.
Only nit,or rather,just personal preference,but the image does appear a bit too saturated,IMHO.

Hi David - looks a very nice image indeed :toast:

I tentatively echo Justins comment but am keeping my head below the parapet 'cos I've just had a go at calibrating my CRT - so not overly full of confidence on that score at the moment :frown:

[quote] bit too saturated/quote]
Extremely saturated imo

Shame as it's a good macro although it would have been tronger if the bee had been facing toward the camera rather than away from it
