I could barely see it to focus! Usual set-up.

Nice capture, those bugs are hard to see let alone photograph.

I just noticed on the download, your sensor needs cleaning you have spots on the image especially the upper left corner section on the first image.

Nice captures. :thumbup: My two recommendations are to add a bit of contrast and color saturation to image.

Thanks! I plan on doing a cleaning this weekend. On a side note, I use to need to do sensor cleaning almost weekly. Now that I make sure my camera is turned off before removing the lens, I can go 6-8 weeks.

I'll see what those change look like.

I couldn't get a image I liked better from the RAW file, but you are more than welcome to give it a try:

Nice captures !!!! I posted an image of the same species of bug a few weeks ago... They sure are tiny.... I spotted one the day before yesterday & tried to capture some images of it... They turned out to be OOF... Went back to the same flower yesterday in hopes that it was still there (it wasn't) & that's when I spotted the "Sleeping Bee" image I posted yesterday

Thanks! I had 2 keeper out of about 30 shots over two days! It's nice that the bugs are starting to come out here in Virginia.

Adjusted exposure (brightness), contrast, color saturation, and sharpness.
