A mason bee emerging from her nest hole.

Taken with Coker's favourite combination of a 200mm with a 50mm reversed onto the end. The 200mm was stopped down to f22 and the 50mm to f5.6. Both focuses set at infinity and focus achieved with a BPM focus slider on a tripod. This is a single shot since stacking was clearly out with a moving subject!

No oo!.... Not this time. He does focus stacks. This is a single shot by me.

Damn: a classic case of having pressed the shutter release before engaging the brain and focussing properly

Luckily, the original was in RAW format and hence was able to correct my error, if not fully save face, in PP (Post Posting): a magnificent macro, David, of a subject close to my heart (hence the pseudonym of Garrulus Apis).
