 i spose the voters are a bit over bees .. i am too .. !!
but there's no other insects around at the moment that are pretty enough to put in a fs & i'm never confident that i'll get over 6 when i enter anything other than a macro ..
i was hoping for 6.2 or 6.3 on this little bee so i'm a happy little vegemite .. !!
that's an aussie term .. i'm sure you get the drift .. !!..:)

Great DOF for such a close shot. I'm curious what lens you are using for this. I probably can't afford one.
