Rose and the Honey Bee!
Another one from Rose Garden in Portland, OR... used 5D MK3 and 100mm Macro. My preference would have been to get both the wings but couldn't get a clear shot before it flew away! For processing, I rotated the image and cropped just a bit. Then, used new Topaz Simplify (it's really awesome!) with modified setting and used a mask to get back the bee. Sharpened the final web version. Hope you like it...

I like the look you were going for here. Soft and dreamy. The bee stands out nicely from the flower.
Indranil, I love the colors and soft look of the rose combined with the sharper bee (especially the wings).

Pretty nice capture, like the effects and composition..well thought out design
Great composition with the petals surrounding and nearly overwhelming the bee. I like the contrast of the sharper bee and flower anthers vs the softer petals. I might try a version a bit less saturated with the red.
