    The bee is very sharp, were you at the maximum magnification for that lens?

    I seriously doubt it, since this was shot "on the run" and hand held. I was using auto focus since it was a moving object, so don't really have a feel for the magnification. I feel that it is slightly oversharpened and a bit contrasty.
    Sorry I can't provide you with an answer.

    Looks good here Jerry. Don't see any halo from oversharpen....

    You may see it at full rez on your end. But you know how the net is :>)))

    Great catch.

    Wish I was that fast...

    It IS slow, typically. But since I knew pretty much the distances I would be working, having the lens set to LIMIT made for a pretty decent setup. The bees were working the azalea bush pretty heavy, so focusing was quite short. Of course, luck had a lot to do with it, as is the case for MOST of my photos :oops:  . P.S. also note that I was using AF-C and this helped a lot.

    My best,
