I was actually just shooting this flower and this guy stopped by. He was so intent on the pollen I was able to move the flower in my plamp to adjust my composition without him leaving.

Pentax K-7; f/9, 1/60 sec, ISO-400; Tamron 90mm macro.

Thanks for looking, C&C appreciated.

Derek:
I like this comp a lot. Excellent plane of focus management to get the hoverfly and center of the flower in focus. Nice clean bg.

I love the angle and composition on this shot. It's very unique. The colors are excellent, the details are beautiful, and the background is nice and clean. Excellent work!
