Description Had to prove that I can shoot more than just bees

Tech Specs: Canon 1D Mark III (F13, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MPE-65mm macro lens (@ 3x) + a diffused MT-24EX (-1/3 FEC and a 1/4 CTO gel) and a 320 EX (1/4 CTO gel) set to group C and slaved off of the MT-24EX to illuminate the background.

Well....I'm convinced! (although I never doubted that).
Beautiful portrait of a most fascinating creature.
BTW: living in the US now?

That's better.... Your 'About me' (right above) says you are from the US.

Incredible sharpness and texture.
And the insect really makes contact with the photographer/viewer.

It's a really nice shot,
but when it all comes together, it all seems a bit too brown.
I think I'd have tried to make the background a few shades lighter or darker to try & give it more separation of subject.
