Retake
Was able to do a retake the next day of my last idea with better results.. This guy looked like he was about to slide off..

f/8 or higher? Great job on the DOF, and I like how you left the room at the bottom for the bee to "fall" into. I had the exact same thought, looks like he's barely hanging on.

this is a 5.6, but it worked at this distance...

Nice one Ned! The light on the flower is super! One of the best bee-flower interactions I've seen. Nice catch.

Love the light and the DOF. :toast:

Nice and crisp, but I have to say I did like the composition of the first try much better. The flower and bee were a definite focal point whereas here there is a bit of an empty bottom frame.
Nice processing throughout though.....as usual.

Very cool, that light sure was great!
