Description
Sometimes I manage to get close to a critter that seems to be half asleep and when it wakes up it doesn't know that I'm close. So it goes about it's normal routine, like brushing it's tongue (or in this case a proboscis).Tech specs: Canon 40D (F13, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MPE-65mm macro lens (@ 3x) + an MT-24EX macro twin flash (-1 1/3 FEC).

First of all, if there were to be 6th star in the technique and vision categories I would totally give it to you! This is an amazing photo that is extremely hard to achieve!! I haven't seen a photo like this with such clarity for a long time!!!! I've read the comments and I realize that this photo really needs to break the barrier of DeviantART and break into the internet for the world to see, enjoy and study! Getting to origianality I've seen things like this before but photos usually consisted of a busy background or lacking clarity of the subject. Now this photo has everything it needs and five star rating has been awarded to you! Once again great job and keep up the great work!!!!! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

One of the reason's why I shoot at the angles that I do is to bring out that personality -they don't come across as insects...

Yes, many insects have hair growing out of their eyes.

John, I think you ought to update the Bee-Wikipedia with your knowledge of bees and magnified pictures, so the whole world can benefit from your dedication to bees.

That's something that I need to work on -the creative commons images there...

I'm amazed at how much detail you're able to get in these photos -I'm in absolute awe.
Magnificent job!
