Worker Bee
I've heard a lot about "worker bees", but I don't think I've photographed one before. I was inspired by the macro workshop that I attended this weekend to go out in the garden and photograph the bees who are busy working the bottlebrush blossoms. I took quite a few pictures and this is the only one in which I got a sharp face. I'm so glad not to be paying for film anymore.
I used my 300mm lens with a 1.4 TC, so it wasn't a true macro, but it did let me get pretty close.
This looks better when viewed large against a black background, and you can see it that way by pressing "L".
