Wow, thanks for exposing the underside of a bee. How you managed... Well, pure talent I imagine. Detail is amazing. Great clarity. Thank you for sharing.

What a very interesting capture you have here and at first I thought "What is it" ? but its obviously some sort of 'venomous' insect (?) which I personally would stay well clear of !

This is definitely a different photo. I don't think i would have ever come up with something like that. Your focus, framing, and lighting are all good. Well done! Thanks for sharing and have a happy Thanksgiving :)

Nice macro. Love the iridescent colors. The way you cropped this and the angle of the composition are great.
