Here is one of my favs so far.

Looking at it now, i should have cropped it just a bit to not put the bee right in the middle of the frame. I LOVE how the flower and background almost look like claymation, or rubbery. It gives the picture a very unique look in my opinion.

Thanks for any input!

Any particular reason why you used a f/2.8 on this shot? I would have used a little higher f, [As I said, I start at f/5.6 for macro], and gotten both wings in focus. You seem to have plenty of light, so you could handle a little smaller f without sacrificing much shutter speed. I realize it can be really difficult to get set up on things like this, they often fly away when you adjusting setting...

I like the crop... Increase the color saturation??? Nice Bokeh...
