Buzzzy
Long focal length and short focussing distance, makes for a very shallow depth of field. Anyone that has done a flower macro can tell you that.
To catch a busy little bumblebee in that thin slice of sharpness can be very taunting. Wind, clouds and especially shutter lag are your biggest enemies.
But spending all that time on your knees is worth it when between all those out of focus scenes you find that one perfect shot.
