Thanks! I got the initial ID wrong. It's a halictid bee: http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/misc/bees/halictid_bees.htm

One of the common names for Halictids IS sweat bee.
edit: Maybe that's what you meant.

Key to getting a nice result on these is good diffusion. To hot and the eye is ruined with white glare. I'd say you're dialed in and nailed exposure. Nicely done Kervin.
