A very busy bee.

D7100/Sigma 120-400 mm @ 400 mm.
This was hand held, so getting Mr Bee this sharp was a bit of a fluke (I won't tell you about all the ones that weren't sharp, lol). Please download for a better look.

Great shot Earl...hand held is about the only way to capture bees as they never sit still long enough to do a set up...when I did my bee project last year, I took a few thousand shots to get a few hundred good ones that I wanted to keep...they weren't all bad but just too similar or not what I wanted to keep.
Tell me about the gear you used...? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

It's at the top of my post, Ron--D7100/Sigma 120-400 mm @ 400 mm. I shot from about 6 feet away & cropped to suit. :D

Excellent detail. Since I usually shoot handheld sharpness is often a fluke for me. Especially at 400 mm. 8-)

Holy Cow - that is one sharp image for six feet away! Nice job. Must say that for close up work, there are plusses to be had with a telephoto lens vs. a macro lens.
