This is a beautiful capture! I'm curious as to what lens you used. I can never seem to get zoomed in enough to fill so much of the image and retain such focus as my lens(es?) only have a certain focus distance. thank you for sharing such an amazing image!

Its a Tokina AF 100mm f/2.8 Pro D Macro Lens. Its regarded by many as the best macro lens made! Its also surprisingly affordable as far as lens go. I have been really pleased with the results I have got with the lens. there is a companion shot that is part of my banner that was shot on the same day, if you look at the shot of the bee, in the thistles you can see another insect. The shot I have on my banner is of the same tiny insect I was trying to get the bee, but the little one just stood out, that is with the same Lens. One of the things I have discovered with macro that there is such a fine line between having all the the subject in focus, and back ground stuff you don't. Just like anything with photography there is a little luck involved sometimes. But when you have the right gear, and you shoot a lot, it amazing how much more you get lucky.

Stunning image. Agree with your comments but along with luck and the right kit you obviously have the talent and skill to take such a beautiful shot.
