A simple bug in the flower shot. Made it with the Nikkor 70-300mm f4-5.6D ED, in a monopod, at 300mm, f5.6 1/2000. Not very sharp (wind?) and when USM it left some white aureula in the lower petals. But I like it.

I like these types of shots however this one is not doing it for me and I'll tell you why. Mainly is do to the fact that this photo is not of a flower per say but also of the bug and unfortunately the bug is not in focus. Too bad cause I would have really like it. Good Luck.
I don't remember seeing a beetle feeding like this - interesting. Your shot suffers from poor focus though, so I'd stop down to around f8 and decrease your shutter speed. If you then focus on the back of the flower you would achieve a much deeper depth of field.
