Cropping? Anything?

Technical Details

Z9, 180-600 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, monopod, 1/3200th, f 8.5, 735mm, ISO 2200, cropped to 4044 x 3143.

Dave: This is a terrific capture. I love the light and the plane of focus and DOF you have, In a perfect world the bees would all be sharp. I wonder if you could get more DOF with a slightly slower SS and still freeze the action. Of course you could also ask the bees to hold still for a few seconds while you set up :wink: . Very nicely done. >=))>
