Excellent on download. You can count the stripes on the bee. And that fuzzy white hair really stands out. Great photo. I assume people buy expensive lenses for sharpness+.
Thanks for responding.
I used a Tamron 180mm f3.5 lens, hardly expensive and I bought used.

Shallow depth of field - the bee is very sharp in that individual hairs and pollen are sharp. The flowers are not sharp just an inch or so in front of bee.
This laptop screen is 1366 X 768.
These old eyes barely see in 2K, what do I do with 4K???

Macro lenses have very shallow DOF at close range.
Not suggesting upgrading to 4K.

Thanks for responding.
I used a SB300 flash on a D500 and it doesn't do high speed sync so I was limited to 1/250s. The natural light was not that great. I use single point focus nearly all the time except when doing BIF which is not often.
Not sure where the focus point was as it was a moving target do to the breeze and couple that to the shallow DOF with the subject inches from the lens and only about 5/8" long. I'm happy to get what I got even though its not perfect... I'm satisfied.
Never the less thanks again for your kind review.
BTW I grew up in the Lake View area.

Joe - I'd written already before reminding myself of your excellent work with Hummingbirds and realizing I was wasting my breath on ideas you already know ... Should you consider another flash? I'd never last being limited to 1/250 on a sync ... Take care from Wrigleyville!

In addition I have 2 SB800s 1 SB900 and a couple of old Sunpaks that are used as slaves occasionally. I like the SB300 because of it size. It does allow me to flip it back and bounce off the ceiling and walls for the best on camera lighting I have experience, if the surfaces are white. Of coarse it doesn't help outside.
I pity you and traffic when the Cubs play especially now that they are good.

Here is an image processed on my 4K monitor and Radeon Card which I think is sharp. Now I'm wondering what you see.
Sharp?
Not Sharp?
Over Sharpened?
Please let me know.
