Not sure if this honey bee on a cosmos is really macro - please move to Flora if not, Scott. I guess the bee was what I took it for - but not entirely !!!

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 128mm, 1/1000 sec @ f 4.5, - 0.67ev, ISO 400, hh.

Lovely composition and colors. I always think Bees look best against a pink flower. You got just the right DOF on that flower and BG.

The soft focus on this image makes it feel like the cosmos is blowing in the wind. Very soothing image. Congratulations on the WP.
