Outstanding, Yun. One of the best bee macros I've seen here. It's a beautiful image of both the zinnia and the bee with super color and detail. Perfect dof, too. :toast:

Nice work, Yun. I particularly like the blacks in the bee, they have a glow that is very cool. Great color and DOF. :toast:

This is a wonderfully bright and colorful view, Yun. I can't imagine how this could get any better.

Yun, Sharp as a pin. The colorful perch in the form of Zinnia really sets the bee off so nicely. :toast:
