Hi Phil,
I want to thank you guys on the macro forum for giving me a healthy dose of entomophobia.

Can't C&C at all since I don't have a macro lens and I'm still trying to get a handle on my regular kit lenses, but I like this series, particularly #1 and #2 are my faves.

You also posted on a different Macro thread, your progressive zoom shots--WOW!

Don't you guys ever get stung?

Lovely series Phil - I nearly always have trouble with exposures with bumble bees

Really nice job. And I agree about how difficult it is to get the exposure on bees -- the blacks of the body are always underexposed on mine, rarely keeping the detail you've got here.
