Literally my first bee shot with a new Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM lens. In natural light, without flash assist. It should improve with the ring flash attached.

I love your master's touch ... Your bees and other critters that I have been collecting for all those years make really a substantial set. And still growing LOL
May I take a breath now ?! LOL

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

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Thank you, everyone. I'm a little overwhelmed by the feedback, but could get used to it.

I've been wanting to buy the 180mm macro for a long time & the stars just aligned for it. I had to order a ring flash adaptor because the store was out of them, but in a few days I should be able to start using that combination.
