Or an american Bee on a mexican Petunia. Had a hell of a time trying to focus on that bee with the wind blowing from all this bad weather. I used a step up ring to adapt a Olympus MCON-35 +3 diopter achromatic Macro Extension Lens on my Leica 35mm to 430mm zoom lens. Hopefully the weather well get better soon so I can get some better macros with this setup. No croping needed

You did manage to get a nice sharp macro in spite of the wind. Very clear details on the bee. Now you can send the bee away.

Can't see how it could get much better than this, Ed, especially with that lens and setup. Nicely captured here despite the wind.

This almost has a soft porn feel to to Huck. Not that I know anything about porn. Your closeup technique worked very well on this Border Guard.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Exceptional focus on the bee, Ed. The foofy looks pretty good too. Nice work!
