Dean: Because the bee is the prime subject any softness there is going to have a greater negative impact. I think your DOF was OK but your POF was off. You can see good sharpness on the petals but you have to look for it because our eyes go immediately to the bee. This may not be the best analogy but when I’m shooting Hibiscus the tiny fine filaments on the end of the stamens and pistils have to be sharp. I go so far as to go to 1:1 in LR. If they’re even slightly OOF I know that no software will make up the difference satisfactorily and I dump the images. Of course we have the luxury of taking many shots with a fixed subject like a flower whereas when you’re shooting movnig critters it’s much more difficult to get a winner. Plus, the less time I spend on the computer the better for me. I appreciate all of the sophisticated software options we have but for me the capture is the challenge. >=))>
