 I wanted to see how close my new 20mm lens could get to things. I though a bee would be a perfect subject because they are small and hard to photograph and it is easy to tell how small the DOF is on such a subject. With the composition and editing I wanted the focus to be on the bee and not the flowers so much.

I love the soft blur. The tone is perfect - so subtle! 7

Great macro shot you have here. Shame that it is the back and not the eyes that are in focus. Beautifull toning, but this is not what I think of when I think about Heida's style. If she had taken macro work, then it would probably look something like this. SO a bit of a shoehorn, but I got it on after awhile.
