Superb, Matt! It has a wonderful 3-dimentional quality about it. Great sharpness, depth of field and lighting. It doesn't get much better than this! You've come a long way, pilgrim. I look forward to your posts every day. You're a great source of information and encouragement.

What was the set-up? Camera, lens, lighting, setting, exposure ?

I was stalking the blue berries to see if there was anything worth photographing .. Its been a nasty winter this year for rain and wind so I was surprised to see a bee in a landing pattern ..
I watched the bee for a few minutes and then the wind died down and the bee took a position on a flower that I could reach with the camera ..
Had a bout a 10 second window for the shot and then the wind picked up and the bee went lower down in the blue berry bushes making taking a photo near impossible , so this was a one shot wonder ...
