    What would make it even better is your bee in focus, could make a beautiful composition. I know they're small, however, focusing on your subject is everything. Good shot!clap.gif

    I love the color and dark background but I agree with Marina, if that bee would have been in focus you would have nailed it! Don't worry. I could volumes with shots that I "just" missed. mwink.gif

    Thanks for the comments everyone.

    Im not good at manually focusing, and I was trying to get in as close as I could. I only had my 75-300mm lens with me at the time so I couldn't do proper macro shots. I just set the lens to manual, and moved myself forward and backwards until I figured the shot was in focus the best I could. The bee was only around for one shot before it left and I didnt know till I got home he was soft. But I like the shot. :0) I just wish the wings would show up more after my post processing. Perhaps next time I can get him in focus some more. *may have to use a smaller aperature to boost my odds, hehe*.
