Good shot! I've never seen an orange one. Might this bee be related to this one? Smile [ link ]

I like your DOF, soft blossoms in FG and sharp detail in the main subject.

Great macro shot of the bee... hard to see in real life but here we have a sense of how the bee lands on the flower while it is collecting pollen (the bee is seemingly using all its legs to balance on the little flowers). The contrast between the orange/black of the bee and the light blue of the flowers helps to make the bee stand out strongly in the picture.
