Karen, yes getting a sharp focus for me is a challenge. I guess I'm stubborn insofar as using auto-focus, which I really should, I insist on manual focus, however, my eyes Just seem to trick me. Once in a while I do hit it though. Some of my bee shots are about 70% there. Cheers.
The thumbnail for this really caught my eye Al, I think its lovely, the light has brought out the subtle differences in colour in the poppy, the only thing that lets it down is the lack of sharpness.
