Bee in wild flowers

Way too much wind for natural light shooting today -but I couldn't help it. Well over 20 frames and this is the one image that I kept.

Canon Xti (Tv mode -2/3 EV, 1/200, ISO 100) + 100mm macro + 12mm extension tube + MR-14 EX used for fill (set to -2 FEC). Shot in RAW and edited in Elements 5 with no changes in the RAW editor. Noise Ninja, auto levels adjustment, 10% shadows / highlights adjustment, used the healing brush to take out a dust spot and remove one minor defect in the flower, and saved as a high quality jpg.

Edit: Please move this the the "Other Photos" section. I'd delete it and repost but I don't see the option...

    Thanks for the props! I'm forcing myself to work more on composition and lighting this year -it's not enough just to get the eyes in focus...
