Nice detail. it seems your DoF is right on. Did you use a tripod? I see it's a 100 macro lens.

Very nice image,David - The hairs of the bee are nice and sharp/crisp.

Very nice David...I like the sharpness of the shot. Bees are not scared of flash either. Camera-wise, they are not shy either...

[deetheturk]

Nicely done.

Thanks Izzie,yes they can make good subjects,if the little buggers sit still long enough to get some frames off

An image taken by the photographer doesn't need any kind of explanation and Photo itself is well explained. That's the what you've done, David. Superb!!!

Very nice as always DavidMay I ask why you used flash,is it a technique for macro shooting or the light wasn't enough?

[deetheturk]

Hi Kate,thank you for the kind words,much appreciated!

David

Cheers Binnur,the reason i use flash is to freeze the subject,because at 1-1 magnification any slight movement is exaggerated, and the flash helps with this,also when you are halfway in a bush it gets pretty dark with not a lot of natural light
