I was focusing on the cluster of flowers when the bumble bee decided it was time for an exclusive. I didn't even know it was in the picture until I looked at it later.

Boy - you got me stumped on this one. Not even sure how it would fit the other stationary challenge let alone this one. Maybe the flower challenge? Probably getting alot of the dreaded DNMC comments though - so here is something different maybe. You have a good capture of the bee. Nice colors in the flowers but you really lose most of the impact with the size of the picture. There is a tutorial on this site abouut saving your pictures for the web to maximize the 150k within the 640pixel limit. At a larger size more detail and impact would have been had with this shot (even more so in the right challenge). If you are new here welcome to DPC and dont let the comments get you down. There is always the next challenge and the past ones get forgotten quick. If you have been around for a while then I ask "What are you thinking man?" Seriously, good luck on future challenges and find that tutorial.
I think you entered the wrong challenge. Even if this were the Stationary Challenge, the bee is still in flight and wouldn't really fit well into the challenge. You might also want to check you photo size before your next submission.
This would be easier to see if it were larger, and I think it is in the wrong challenge. It seems to be taken in bright sunlight, so perhaps a different time of day would cut down on the glare. I also think the bee should be more in focus.
