That is a good challenge. The Micro Nikkor is the right lens for this shot, and you have found a subject that fits it's abilities very well. Excellent focus, and shallow DOF at this range make this a very pleasing image. I reach for my Micro Nikkor 55 manual focus when things seem to be getting dull, and the boredom is always gone in just a few minutes. It always impresses me that the lens can see things that I certainly can't with my eyes, like the little hook claws on the ends of the bee's legs.

It's like a trip to cloudsville where the ground below is as insignificant as the clouds are to them.

Feels like I'm flying above him, looking down and the background looks like waves breaking on a beach. Excellent!

Thank you for pointing those things out - I have now fixed them.
