WOW! You took a picture of a bee... this close. I am impressed, because sometimes I have great trouble zooming in with my camera. Indeed, it does look like he is saluting---very nice movement there. However, it is blurry on the edges, but that is normal... at least in my pictures that are highly zoomed in like that... far as I recall.

Another thing that annoys me is that the background seems to have another flower behind it which gives it a strange yellow spot, but that is not too bad.

How to improve this... well, I know how hard it is to take a picture like this so I am not angry or anything, but I would like less blurry lines---if it was crisper it would have a larger impact.
