Hi Rex,

All taken with a 100mm Canon macro lens - it is an extremely impressive lens!

Awesome again Greg....any exif data?

Also, don't know if you noticed, there's a speck of dust or summin near his jacksie (on your sensor maybe....) that could've been cloned out :wink:

Even the bristles are pin sharp on him/her....great shot!

Hi Rex,

f#22, 1/125s, ring flash, ISO 200. I noticed the speck as soon as soon as I posted it up - cloned out now on the master copy :D

Went apple picking the other week - of course I was taking pictures.... and of course I had to take some of the bees on the remains of apples...

Hi Rebel702,

That shot's got some great colours! But it's been sharpened waaaaay too much. Needs to be toned down a bit. 8)

Mark,

Thanks for the feedback. Just learning with PS Elements so I don't have a delicate touch yet. Here is a repost w/o any sharpening. Better or should it be somewhere inbetween?

C&C welcomed. Old dog learning new tricks.

Yeah it's much better now. Perhaps you could add a little bit (10-20% or something) but that's personal preference really.

Here's one I took this summer. It's hard to get close to these guys, especially since I've been (irrationally) scared of them since I was a child. I got stung 4 or 5 times on the hand once when I was little but for some reason when I'm photographing them I don't mind them as much.
