After having reviewed all three of your posts Rick, I like this one the best. Of course the other two are quite good also but this one really stands out. Sort of like a bee on black velvet. :D

Superb picture, with just a tad of softness on the eye.

This has to be one of the best macros I've seen, the DOF is quite remarkable, everything is sharp as a tack.
