Awesome and very fascinating. How did you manage to get so close? Is this bee alive?

Hello Tonytee
Thank you very much It's been about 8 years that i photograph with Pentax and all over this years the kind of photos that i enjoy the most is macrophotography. In this Eye Bee only take 1 shoot to see the true sharpness of the lens that is the Tamron SP AF 90mm F2.8 Di Macro but i also use 1 Aico 31mm extension tube and also a good lighting with 2 simple little lamps. At this moment i don't have this Tamron lens because for macro is to heavy but next week i will buy the Pentax-D FA 50mm F2.8 Macro

Thank you very much Eaglem
I'm really trying to go as closer as possible but i need 3 extension electronic tubes for Pentax not for the manual focus but to control the Aperture on the camera but i don't find this kind of extension tubes for Pentax anywhere. If you know of any one, I thank you

Most interesting. I never get them to sit still long enough to get this kind of image. Nice example of the pseudopupil, too.

This a fantastic photo.

How much "PP", in addition to the 'single shot', did you have to put in to get this result?

Thank you Reh321.
I use Photoshop CC 2014 in Camera Raw and also use the plugin Color Efex Pro to give more life to this eye
