 Yes it's a dead bee, not my own doing though. :)

My first entry using Canon 10D.
Sigma 105mm macro lens

Taken on a bright sunny day under a white garden umbrella. The white reflection at the bottom of the eyes of the bee was from the surface of a metal table.

Nice macro shot. Lots of great detail. I just find the colour of the bee a little bland. Nice capture of a not so photogenic bee. 7

Yet another B image ... and a good one at that. I like the sharp focus and great colors. It's hard to criticize or find an improvement to suggest. Well done. Among the best of the Bee genre.

Technically a fine image, very shrap, but it looks very dead and unnatural to me.
