Nice colour and DOF,
The focus is on the eye of the bee.

Well done, ext tubes can be difficult to use

Cheers Annwen

I really like the colors, it could use more DOF, but overall I think this is a very good effort. Especially for your first attempt with extension tubes.

Great shot! I love it! But for a future reference, I'd say reduce your ISO sensitivity. Although it means slower shutter speeds, it eliminates the noise (grains) significantly
