Very nicely done! A lot of patience has gone into this image! Great composition and BG. Bumblebee is well in focus and nicely exposed.
I would crop a slice off the top

Very nice Jonathan. I like the two opposing flowers, that make a nice compositional element. I would be inclined to crop from the top to reduce the empty space. Your species ID seems correct to me.

Nice one Jonathan. I tried the same technique with Hoverflies last summer, I can only use manual focus with the macro lens I have. Anticipation is the thing but I have a lot more failures than successes! Nice and sharp where it counts and the bee nicely balanced by the R/H flower and the insect stands out well from the background. Another vote for a little off the top.

Hi Jonathan,
Wonderfully focused bee and I like the composition as well. Very nice image.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I chose this crop because it equates to a potential print and I was anxious to gauge your opinions as presented.

Bees love borage! Brings back fond memories. Perhaps a little off the top...

I love the sharp detail in the bee and borage, offset by the OOF FG. Lovely composition. I'd be tempted to compare taking a little off the top and sides, which could preserve the aspect ratio.

Thanks again I will see if I can make a tighter crop but I think I am on the edge.

Great shot and timing. Like the colors and details. Agree with the crop at the top.....
Cheers,
Miro

A very nice image and I think just enough blur in the wing. You obviously planned it well with the position of the main two flowers.
