Sweat Bee in a Sour Grass Flower

Technique: I went out in the yard early in the morning, hoping to catch some Sweat Bees that might be a little lethargic. When I found this one I simply held on to the flower's stem with my left index finger and thumb, and then rested the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 400) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (about 2.5x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
