Dialed in the DOF very nicely here, Russ.

Thank you both. I really appreciate that.
Shooting small, random events like this is why I enjoy macrophotography.

I have had photographer friends complain that they live in an area where there are no mountains or forests or glistening lakes, blah-dee-blah... So I ask them if they've ever considered the miniature world surrounding them. All they need is a decent macro lens and everywhere there are possibilities for great images; they just need to look low and close. You've obviously learned that well, Russ. Good luck with the competition.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Terrific macro shot. I agree with Nikoneer. There are great scenes everywhere. If a viewer cannot see them, the problem is with the viewer.

Thank you for the nice comments.
It takes some time to retrain your vision for macrophotography & how to achieve good results. For me, the reduced depth of field (DOF) continues to be the main challenge. And if that wasn't enough, I bought the EF 12 II Extension Tube for the 100mm lens to increase magnification past the 1X it can currently achieve. That will decrease the DOF even more and also eliminate focusing to infinity. Ideally, I'd like to be able to shoot about 0.5-2X

Faved & saved, but, alas, I have neither patience nor skills even to try to follow...
Thanks for the beauty [and instruction].

Great close up shot with amazing details. The colors and contrast are great. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you, everyone. I'm happy you liked the shot.
Shooting bees, for me, has become almost as obsessive as other photographers who shoot birds and only birds.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Thank you Marsha and Lyn.
I'm very pleased that you and others liked the picture. As I recall, it was a quick, impulsive shot and I only got one. Then the bee took off like a rocket.
