You just missed with this. What happened to his legs and such?

A very nice macro... would have panned up just a little to get a little less room at the top and include the guy's legs.

wonderful macro...perhaps a little too tightly cropped on the bottom where you have chopped off legs...great focus and dof

A little to tight on the crop on the bottom. Nice otherwise.

if the entire bee were in the image it would be a much stronger image.
