Nifty title and delicious Monet-ish bokeh to show off a lovely flower.

I hate flowers... but at least your flower had a bug in it. ;)

Seriously, this is quite a nice photo, and the shallow DOF has been used brilliantly to draw all the attention to the bug. I quite like this... and think it was my highest rated flower photo in challenge. :)

Again, I digress. Colour's good, perhaps an iota falt, composition is spot on. Well done... probably deserved to do better with the voters, but I blame those voters that see flowers and turn of w/o giving them enough of a chance... and I have to admit I'm one of those... or was... I've developed an appreciation of them following Flowers II and will endeavour to give them more time in the future. I am a reformed flower hater... well, maybe not... I still hate them, but will not be so quick to judge them in future.

The scenery is nice enough, though this looks like it was taken from a moving car.
