Bumblebee in Eggplant II

Description

Technique: I injected artificial nectar into an Eggplant flower so the bumblebee would have a reason to let me get close. I'm holding on to the flower's stem with my left index finger and thumb, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep everything steady. The color is due to the quality of the light (I didn't have to push the saturation in post).

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 25mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key and "B" as the fill). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. Camera set so that I could use natural light to expose the sky in the background, with the short duration of the flash freezing subject motion.
