This shot was totally unintended. I was going for a perspective of a bugs life. I had spent an hour or so setting up the shot I wanted and shot about 30 pics. As I was getting to end I noticed this bumble bee hanging around. So I snapped off 5 shots before noticed me, made sure I knew he wasn't happy with my candid shot, buzzed my head and then he took off and was gone. I personally thought this one turned out better then the ones I spent over an hour setting up. So, I guess we'll see if I made the right choice....
Editing was simple:
Slight bump with adjustment layers to contrast, curves
Low level unsharp mask
Crop
Border
Resize and save for web

Now on this one, the pretty green bokeh adds a lot to the subject and works very well with the purple flower. I hate bees too...so you get bravery points from me on this one. I think I like this one best of all of your shots so far.
