Betsy Seeton
I have almost the same shot.. but with a dandelion and with a dent in my “bee” and the wings aren’t clear like this one. Your shot is overall more clear. Love it!
Michael Rowley... replied
thanks kindly Livehonestly, one of my first attempts at macro , the daisy is a seaside daisy very small, half the size of a thumb nail, i was even stunned at how focused this turned out. thanks again
Betsy Seeton
I need to learn how I can get that clear of focus. I love photographing ALL life and that includes the ants and crawly things…
Michael Rowley... replied
Although i’ve been photographing for over 26 years off and on, its still something i need to master, as all of us here i can vouch we are all still learning, regardless of how long we’ve been in the business of photography.
Betsy Seeton
I will just keep trying… :)
