Comment by RonBeam:
Good use of extreme contrast here. The mixture of easily identifiable textures (bricks, plants, wood bucket, human silouhette) all play a role in this scene. The only thing holding this back from greatness is loss of definitive activity by the subject. If she (he) is potting a plant, black fingers or hand should be coming up behind the potted plant as if reaching for it. That would suggest activity instead of the static posture now invoked. Should be easy to add that in editing.

I have always been attracted to this style of image. There is a touch of profundity to anything properly treated (not every image can be converted to this style) in this manner.

A white/black background would make this stand out.

This would be more outside the flower looking in than another shot I just passed where the camera was directly above the flower. Nice macro, nice bee. Maybe the light is a little to strong for the delicacy of a flower? A 7.
