Many thanks for your comments, Traveller. I'm sure you are right. I guess the EF-S 17-85IS is not really designed for really good macro shots, and it's my only lens. I had to crop this one rather severely to get a large enough image of the bee. I am a novice at post processing, and I have yet to learn the value of "moderation."
Mr. Beck, I'm not complaining, but on my monitor this looks a tad over sharpened. For the colors and the subject, you maybe have made the decision that this was necessary to save this image. I'm just curious what the sitution actually is. Best Wishes, Traveller
