Bee Macro

[Beena]

Hi there. I'm new to the forum and have recently been playing around with a Pentax K100D. I bought myself a Tamron 70-300mm lens and tried out some shots. I'm fairly new to photography so would appreciate any tips.

Oh and I deliberately wanted the bee out of focus so that the flower was the subject, luring the bee in.

Exif for this is:

Pentax K100D - Tamron 70mm-300mm Lens
ISO 200
F5.6
1/350
300mm

Really cool flower you got there, interesting shape and colors. personally i would have tryed to capture the bee in focus with a larger DOF (smaller aperture). Composition is great.
