is hard, but if you stick at it long enough, you can teach your native bees to sit

I know

, but it wasn't ..... all it got was unsharp mask, and curves adjustment... I was sitting really close to the hive entrance, and was only a little bit above the platform table that the hive sits on ... actually I think I was resting the lens on the table

- I think that the angle (or lack of) was how that dof looks sooooo shallow ..... it was shot with the 105 at 7.1, 1/500th second, and SB800 with beer cup. If you like I can post the NEF file?

This is an example of the other shots - I got the same effect and similar angle..... again, curves and unsharp mask...

Again, thank you for the positive comments - I was chuffed when I took the shot, and even more happy when I downloaded it

Hugs
