Ultra Macro Bumblebee (6:1)

I set out to do a macro stack, and took more than 10 shots with varying focus, However, I didn't succeed with the blending, and ended up with blurry spots every time. So I gave up. This is the best of the individual shots, and I wasn't sure if I was going to post anything at all. But it'd be a shame struggling so long with this with nothing to show for it.

 

The shot was made with a reversed 50mm f/1.4 attached to a 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 (giving a magnification of 6:1), an external flash, and a slightly dazed bumblebee (I chilled it in the fridge, and it flew away happily afterwards).
