Actually the shutter speed was more of a what if scenario. There were a bunch of bees flying in an out pretty quickly so I figured that I may get lucky with on of the snaps. I did catch a couple of bees but they were OOF.

This one scored well, especially as a flower in a free study. What it has going for it - good rich vibrant color, good simple (but not too simple) composition, very good detail and effective use of DOF. There's very little noise - Canons are good at that at higher ISOs - but in looking at your settings you could have easily cranked the ISO down a few and still had a good shutter speed. (Then again, if you're like me, you have it set for something and forget to change it. I do that all the time.)

I really like your use of selective DOF here. Lovely contrasting tones too.

Really nice, I think the best part for me is the composition.

Beautiful colors but the flower seems chopped off on the left side. Nice narrow DOF and bokeh. :~)

What a stunning flower!! Nice angle and the yellow bokeh of another flower in the background balances the composition well.
