Honey Bee

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted January 9, 2011106 views6 comments

I was trying out the macro abilities of a new Sigma 17-70 zoom. This is one of the first images I took. I would be interested in any and all comments. I took this awhile back and could not come oup with the tech. data for the pic. Thanks for looking.

Great focus and POV! I might choose to crop some off the left so the petals touch each side, but that could be my OCD coming through!

I like this very much, Richard. Perfect colours and DOF. The head of the subject is perfectly sharp, with a lot of details.

Nice DOF and I really like the detail I'm seeing here. Background greens are oh-so-pleasing to the eye

Richard:
A very nice macro image. The bee is tack sharp where it counts as are the filaments. Like the bokeh of this lens as well.

Wow, nice capture! Perfect amount of detail and a nice, soft background to accentuate your subject.
