Same bee as in Slurp V just with a little better framing. I used Topaz DeNoise to remove image noise and Topaz Detail to sharpen it. I've already registered both of them...
I baited this bee with honey by injecting it into a Rosemary flower with a hypodermic needle and syringe. Once she started feeding I grabbed onto the Rosemary branch with my left hand, rested the lens on that same hand, and took the shot.
Tech specs: Canon 40D (F14, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MPE-65mm (@3x) + a diffused MT-24EX (-1 FEC). Click on the link to get to the same image on my Deviant Art gallery, and then click on the image there to see a larger version.
