Honeybee in a Passion Flower

Technique: I injected artificial nectar into a Passion flower to give this honeybee a reason to let me get close. To keep the scene steady I grabbed the flower's stem with my left index finger and thumb and then rested the lens on that same hand. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 200 with highlight tone priority) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering with -1 1/3 FEC).
