C&C are welcome.

I like this one even better than the primrose shots! Great composition and DoF

Nice work...I'm liking the composition, bokeh as well.

Nice! I would prefer to see the blade tip and position the bee (or is it a fly?) a little higher in frame to convey the delicate balancing act.

In composing to the above, you might have been able to get it a tad closer.

Thanks Jet, Rick, and Loupey!

It is a bee. The compound eyes and the white mouth is one of the identifying features of certain species of carpenter bees.

[CaraRose]

Actually, check that... I think you're right Loupey. He's missing the antennae.

Syrphid Fly, maybe?
