Holy bees! Tell me more about your setup - lighting, lens, where did you take this shot? It's amazing how shallow the depth of field is, at this close range, yet the facets are still visible.

Hi Dek, I used a Nikon D750 and a Sigma 105mm f2.8 OS macro lens. This photo was taken on my windowsill with purely natural light. You're right about the depth of field, it can be frustrating trying to retain focus when the DOF is so shallow.
Thanks for your comments by the way, glad you enjoy the photo. I've followed you and I'll keep an eye out for some of your work
Oh, that's a great camera and explains the excellent image quality. At least cropped sensors like mine have the added advantage of bigger depth of field!
Thanks for following!
