hidden in glory

The thumbnail didn't look all that interesting but I like the 'full view' version! It's sharp where it needs to be and I like the unfocused background. The bee is a hidden gem! I do wonder whether the dynamic range (levels) could be greater. But the purple and grey shades on the flow are delicate so there may be a good reason for not boosting the 'whites'. There's an awful lot of 'green' in the background. You might want to consider reducing its saturation slightly and maybe darkening it. I enjoyed viewing the photo!

Mike, thanks for your considered comment-maybe could have been a bit lighter-
