I shared this one on other social media last month. It received a nice response, so here is another look, the first on the blog.
Once again, it's a 50 mm lens shot, and the lens really isn't made for super duper up close work. However, I was patient, and tried a shot on every setting, with every aperture and shutter speed until I got one that worked. Bee in focus with some nice background blur.
I have a strong feeling you'll see this one in this year's Top Ten.
