    Wow Bjorn! Great shot!
    Great sharpness, and DOF also love the movement in the wing, would love to see your EXIF info.
    I’m not sure about the background, BUT that’s nothing compared to the perfect point of interest! WD!

    Hi Bjorn – Welcome to the site – seems like you have mastered the self-posting issue :) I agree with everything the opthers have said on both the bee-posts excellent work!! I do however have a bone to pick about the composition/cropping. Aside from my belief that a tog should never crop any photo to a different aspect ratio than rendered by the camera (3:2 for DSLR and 4:3 for p&S and adv dig, your almost square cropping left you with an unwanted shadow in the right (unwanted as it draws attention away from the subject) and also moved the lavender too much to the left inside the frame. I feel that the crop below gives a more balanced picture.

    Whow! now this is for clarity.
    Crop a bit off the top as well.
    Love it!
