    Wow ! That's a cute bee.
    I agree with MA, selective colors can work too.

    Yeah good idea on that selective colour! Interesting shot.
    Richard, hate to say it - but good macro lenses rock, they are so much friendlier to use than tubes or close-up lenses.

    I think your right... I'm fed up with my close-up lenses. However this year I've bought 2 speedlites, a 55-250 lenses and a tripod... I think my wife would go mad if I spent any-more money... I'm just going to have to wait a bit before I add a macro lens to my kit bag.

    Very nice shot, especially when considering, no macro used.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    And here it is with selective colouring... I think the B&W helps hide some of the limitations of the close-up lenses.
