Thank you for the mark of excellence. My name is Kelsa and I come from Switzerland. For this shot I've used, a Nikon D500 and a 105 mm Nikon macro lens. I didn't use lot of post processing for that shot; I've added a bit of contrast and that's it :) . I'm really glad to have won this prize because I love Bees and I've just bought a macro lens last february !

Thank you very much for the Mark Of Excellence. This picture of a green soldier bug (aka green stink bug) was taken in my front garden in Toronto, Canada, with a Sony a7rii and a Sony 90 mm f2.8 macro lens. It was handheld, using natural light, and processed in Lightroom.
