    Thanks for viewing.

    The bee and flower together turned out great. A lot of DOF at f/16, and yet the background is far enough away to make the subject really stand out. Well thought out composition.

    LOL, the bee flies around frantically and I just hoped some would be in focus. Getting the pose right was 100% luck.

    LOL - I was chasing an emerald bee around a crepe myrtle with an extension tube and my 70-200 2.8.....My wife giggled and shook her head
    Chasing a butterfly to catch it with the wings open with a similar rig on our sidewalk.... My wife laughed out loud enough for the neighbors to take notice.
