despite the bee being a small part of the image, i still like it. how about a 50% crop or something from the right to get the bee bigger?

Pixel peeping is like count the sides of a circle, pointless.

That's what I call minimalism ;) Seriesouly, the bee is in fact a little OOF. However, I do like the overall composition of the shot. I also like how the bee is backlit. Thanks for sharing ;) And, welcome to the macro world :)

I love the backlit BIF, but agree with asylumx, a crop to make the bee bigger wouldn't go amiss.
