I got a bee...

I finally got lucky and shot a bee. I was using my tripod and I focused on a Poppy when this huge bee landed.

I only had my 18-55mm lens and my focal length was all the way out. I had set the camera to use my remote which I think helped a lot to make the focus clear and this is what I got.

Then I cropped it and all I did in PP is sharpen it to bring out the detail on it's wings other than that no other PP was done to it...well except for the frame.

I like how it turned out whatcha think :?:

Thanks everyone. I'm surprised I could get away with cropping it so extreme.

Learning techniques and fundimentals along with shot preparation is very important, but remember shooting candid and nature shots, 'LUCK' plays a large part of our success. Good shooting and PP work.
