Bee Lupine

I was still shooting jpeg when I took this photo of a lupine and bee. It was near Anza Borrego SP in southern CA, early spring, late afternoon. I got right up next to other lupines in the group to get the soft foreground and used f/4 so I'd have enough depth of field.

Nikon D300; Nikon 105mm, f/2.8 macro lens
1/2000sec @ f/4, ISO 200

Nice capture of a bee in flight. Beautiful lighting on the flower and I really like the soft foreground! I think a crop from the top would help focus attention more on the bee and flower.
