Honey bee

While trying to take flight shots of Honey bee, I saw this bee looking at me (at least I felt so). As my friend puts it, it is unconventional composition. Done lots of dodging and burning to get things under contrast

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Pentax K5, Tamron 90mm
f/4.0: 1/400: ISO 500

Your choice of DOF is perfect here Venu ..in line with the green base of the flower and the bee, and a perfect setting against the black bg..well done..
