Shame - it has so much potential - the background blur is just a tad too busy for me - but hey ho..... can't win em all eh! Maybe a tight crop to lose the bee and the slight out of focus base to the plant might bring out the wonderful blue flowers? just a thought! ~ John

I tried cropping it but it didn't look right and the bee is too far in and i would lose the tips of the flowers but thanks for the comments

In Australia this stuff grows wild and is know as Salvation Jane or Patterson's Curse.
In the open country you can see whole fields of it. Poisonous to horses, I don't know what else, but it is so pretty.

If you cropped to the top of the flowers you could clone out what is left of the bee.........
