Works for me, Walt. Foreground has great detail and , while busy, I don't find the background to be a problem.
Thanks, Jack!
It's tough not to get a fairly busy background when that mimosa tree is in full blossom. It's a pretty garish bit of flora.

Now, onto the photo. I took it today at the mimosa tree in my front yard. I did some experimenting to see what kind of setup I need. I would've liked the bee to have been a bit sharper, but I though maybe the blur would lend a sense of motion. Just not sure if it works. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/7412081522/ K20D, Promaster 70-300/4-5.6, ISO 400, 1/400, f/8 I'm guessing I'm going to have to bump up the ISO and shutter speed enough to compensate for another aperture stop at f/9 to get a little more DOF. I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions anyone has to offer.
