        To me the focus doesn't seem to be on the eyes of the bee, my eyes are more drawing towards the more sharper hind legs and middle of the body Stan. Raj

          could be cos there is more detail there. I use a variety of different focus points to get the composition i want but on this one i am not quite sure which I used. The image has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise and as far as i can see I was using the middle point which would have fallen just below the eye - he must have moved at the last minute

                Hi Stan;

                I'm always interested to see your shots, specially the macros...

                For interest/education, can you post the original image; I'm interested to see just how much of a crop you might use...

                TIA...

                Cheers;

                Lee
                Cheers;

                  so did you stack this? I would have thought this would cause focusing problems ?

                  I do find that some insets ( especially bees) can have a soft "look" due to hairs and a few I taken in the past I know are sharp but don't look it

                    thanks for looking guys

                    to answer two questions, no stacking just a single shot. Here is the original RAW file just converted to jpeg and resized to post. As you can see the crop is almost full frame vertical and rotated for a better composition

                      Hi Stan;

                      Thanks for putting that up... that must have been VERY close to the minimum close-focus distance of c. 12"/30cm... well done... Cheers... Lee

                        the exif shows a shooting distance of 0.37m
