The main subject, the Wild Rose is in tack sharp focus and appropriate for the situation. The center of the rose looks quite lovely. The DOF works well for this shot. The lighting is good. The colors are nice. The bee provided a visually-interesting element to the rose.

If I look long enough it seems that the body of the bee is a bit soft.   Posted: 08/12/2019 15:08:59

a 90mm, gosh, you'e brave to get that close, or flora was the original intent, bee just icing on the cake?

hand held or tripod?

if bee is your intend, then I'd suggest using shutter least 1/500s and up, they are active, move around a lot.   Posted: 08/14/2019 07:46:16
 
Thanks for the feedback Charlie. I should have increased the ISO so I could have gotten a faster shutter speed. It was handheld. Seems like I chased that bee around several different flowers before I got him.   Posted: 08/14/2019 10:04:25

good luck, they are nimble, I'd also suggest use a zoom lens, so reflexible in reach, etc. till found a pattern of its movement.   Posted: 08/14/2019 10:42:13
