Wow Jim, that's a really sharp shot of the wings. Do you mind me asking what lens this was taken with?

I think this shot is terrible, I really hate it.

Can you tell I'm lying.

Not really a bug or macro fan, but this could convert me

On a scale of 1 to 10, well, let's just say 'a bit more than 10'

Not a bug fan either, but a great picture is a great picture.
Best wishes,

This is wonderful, as well as the fantastic sharpness of the Bee and it's beautiful wings, it's a lovely composition.

Nice sharp macro shot, good colours and composition. But I tried to tinker the level of the 'shadows' and/or 'blak point'.

Those top down shots are so difficult to get looking good, but this is a very nice background and the wings stand out really nicely. It would be nice to lighten the eyes and back a little.

Thankyou Trixie, I can see what you mean about the glass comparison.
