Baited Honeybee

I put a few drops of Agave Nectar on a zucchini flower to give this honeybee a reason to let me get close. This image works as is, or turned to the left for a portrait.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/100, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering with -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. The sharpening built into Denoise AI looked so good I used it to sharpen this photo.
