 Caught a drone bee (male, no stinger), picked a bunch of flowers from my "butterfly bush" put it a top a beer bottle and sprinkled some synthetic pollen (used for feeding my bee hive during the early spring.

Used my Nikkor 18-200mm with the minolta 58mm reversed.

I am guessing that many will vote poorly on this because the pollen isn't actually my subject... Or that it isn't that granular...

Sorry

Umm Sorry, I don't think I can get it much sharper. Look at the antenna, pretty sharp; you can see the facets of the compound eye... How sharp do you want it?
