carpenter bee

not sure if this should go here =/ ... anyways taken with d70+70-300G w/o any close up filter =/

wish it was a natural perch though =/ ... no PS done except crop and minor sharpening

Very nice esp. good exposure and detail of the bee eyes against a clean background

a closer view would better and of course you need to use ext tube or closeup filter (if you can approach it closer)

try to increase contrast and saturation to enchance the color.
