    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

    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

    Betsy Seeton
