Great capture Rui.
The colors and lighting in the shot are really nice.
Hmm but the bee looks a little blurry?? #737728

Thank you Dan,Isabel, Sanjay.

It was my first try to macro, (I bough a tamron 90mm and tried, I don't do macro very often).
The bee looks blurry because I focused on the bee's "eyes", and I worked if I well remember at F5.6 because I had no tripod and needed to avoid to blurry everything with a slow speed. The picture was taken directly in nature with the existing day light and the bee was moving very often and fast.
Thank you very much for your comments and any Tips and tricks to get macro with bigger DOF are welcome.

Here are some I will try to apply:

- Bigger ISO Value
- Use a tripod (even so the picture is not blurry, only the bee's back du to DOF)
- ....

Very nice macro, Rui Felipe! I think you were correct to focus on the eyes of the bee. Great shot for not using a tripod!

Thank you Kathy,
Next time I will try to use a tripod, but with a tripod you can't easily follow a bee... lol
