Default Bumble bee

Here is the picture!

Bumble bee

Camera: Nikon D5100 (Nikkor AF-S VR DX 18-105mm)
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/800)
Aperture: f/5.0
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 800
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: No Flash

I usually don't take macros as the only lens I have is the Nikkor 18-105 which isn't exactly the best for close focus and shallow depth of field. This time I was in the garden and I decided to give it a try annoying this poor bumble bee.

I took some shots and I think this is the best I got. I did a bit of pp with LF, just a crop, some contrast and saturation.

Any suggestion to improve it? Better composition? Colors?

Thanks!

Well, you are absolutely right. There is too much useless space in the picture.

Thanks, I'll work on that.
