Macro Action

This 180mm lens has opened up an entire new dimension in a photographic sphere. Although I'm struggling as usual to identify the species.

Canon 1D3 canon 180mm handheld ISO400 f/6.7 1/750sec RAW to lightroom then resized to post.

Critique, Comments and Advice most welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Like this one. May be you can crop a little more from dthe left so the insect moves a little more to the left (more out the middle). Not to much, otherwise the insetcs touches the border of the picture.
Nice colors, great sharpnes.

Barry,

agree with Tom, this is very nice, it looks sharp and I think one of your best... the light direction appears to be against you, something that is more than likely out of your hands, but choosing the right time of day and making sure that the light is coming from over your shoulder can occasionally help, in this case the use of a flash to add a little fill would have helped.

The world of close up photography really opens your eyes to a new world...

this is a very nice shot Barry and one you should be pleased with. I would also prefer a bit off the left. You've frozen the bee nicely.

Nice capture Barry

Nits already covered

It'll do for me. Not easy to produce an image of a bee in flight as good as this.

Minor nits aside - well taken Barry.
