Bee on Flower...1st attempt

OK, I was bee chasing today, and my 40-150 tele zoom can focus to 5 feet...So, this is a tight crop from a 10mp camera.

Not bad...but ??...Could be sharper.(higher SS I guess?)..Hand held 1/200s at f/6.3 "IS" was on. Taken at 150mm (300mm for FOV for old school comparison to 35mm FF) What else can I do...??

I'd play with the crop some, it's too centered for my taste.

I tend to agree. I think a tighter crop would be better as well.

I think the Bee came out very nice. Possible crops might include

Cheers,

Thanks for suggestions...I have taken a 2nd shoot and will post a few in my next post here.......Upped the ISO too 400, and shot at f/8...the extra speed made a big differance...in sharpness and noise.
