Pretty good attempt. I think it needs a bit more depth to get the bee in focus, especially if you are going for an all white background. A terrific score for your first challenge. Hope to see more.
I'd like to see the natural white petals, but maybe just me.
I am not sure what white petals you speak of here. I have never seen a 'Hou bush', on Kaua`i, with white petaled flowers. I might be just you in this instance.
Hou is the name of the bush/flower and I like word play because it causes one to think a bit and look words up if there is a question.
Hibiscus tiliaceus is grown throughout the tropics mainly as an ornamental tree for landscaping, as it is very ornamental, with its large heart-shaped leaves and dense foliage.
Today it is often called "hau bush" in Hawai'i and is sometimes regarded as an invasive plant, as it has taken over some areas covering many acres, at the same time creating windbreaks and stabilizing the soil. Description from: //ntbg.org/plants/plant_details.php
Since all my photo equipment was stolen and I am camera-less, I will spend time now voting...
