Honey Bee

[RJL2005]

Haven't had much time for photography in the last year but decided to break out the mp-e today. I'd forgotten what a hard master it is and need to practise dropping the focal plane in the right place. Still felt good to be back!

Ive had a good go at macro a while back, so I know how hard this shot is to create - well done, nice DOF and sharp in the right places - bang on What gear are you using ??

Very nice shot rhod.
Nice to see the pollen on the leg looking all crusty. As above, great dof, sharpness and colour.

Thanks guys. Would have liked to get the back leg in focus too. Next time.....

Great shot of the Bee Rhod. Leg does not bother me as the pollen and head have all the detail needed.

Excellent shot Rhod... a stack would be good on this but as @ChrisA said the oof rear leg doesn't bother me at all.

Yes, agree with all previous. If the staff POTM was still going I wouldnt have been surprised to see this in the list of winners.
