Saw some bees stoppin' by and smelling the flowers. So I figured it couldn't hurt and gave it a shot:

Very impressive!!!

The primary subjects are fantastic but I like the way you really controlled the backgrounds.

Thanks Bruce and everyone else for the kind comments so far!

I have to remind myself to use my monopod. Handholding at such magnification is difficult at best. Then again, I wasn't anticipating on shooting any bug macros when I headed out this morning. :lol:

Hmmm... I think it's time for me to go and buy a macro lens! :D
