Even if it's not 'accurate', I tend to like a warmer white balance on nature shots. The first one is much better, so I think you chose well.

That's a racoon's paw print.[]
Or a feral human.
Managed to get one good shot today. Windy as anything, but that did work to my advantage since the bees were cold and didn't want to fly.

That's a really nice shot of the bee. What gear and settings did you use for that?

Background is other flower and/or sky. Boosted shadows in Photoshop and then some slight selective noise reduction.

I found this little guy outside and brought him inside for a little photo shoot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"] Don't worry I released him the second I was done right where I found him. I used two 32" umbrellas with 2-580 EX II speed lights for main and fill light and a 580 EX as a hair (antennae?) light and a ST-E2 transmitter to set the flashes off.<o></o

Sweet!
I'm surprised you were able to get so close with only 25mm of extension at 105mm. How much did you crop it? It looks great in any case.
Double sweet!
