 Reverse macro of a bee I found sitting on my window sill. Too bad he was dead for a while and collecting dust, wasn't as pretty as a live bee.
I used a combination of a 55-200 and a 50 mm reversed.
I wish I could clone out the streak in the bottom right but what can you do right?

Nice and detailed. Not sure if I care for the golden tone or not, but that's a personal preference thing.

It looks like his back end is inflated ;-) Nice detail on his face.

Excellent DOF.
Not too fond of the yellowish tone to the whole thing but then again it is a bee so I cant take points for that.
The eyes look great.
