Mary MacADNski: It was a banquet for him. Fifty or so light standards with planters around them.....He would have been filled to the brim when he went back to the hive.
What a cracking thing to do with a camera! Wonderful shot, Mary.
To concentrate even more attention on the bee you could try cropping a little of the greenery off the top and the darkness on the right, even to the extent of trimming the ends off the petals. This would place the subject closer to one of those "thirds" everyone's always harping on about. Actually, it's quite a good ploy for many shots.
