In retrospect, not so sure about this. Are the insect and stamens 'competing' for the focal point of the photo?
What do you lot think?

When relatively seen, think that the beetle has no idea that it's on a flower.

To my opinion is the main subject the beetle and not the flower. Therefore it's good that you've chosen the beetle as your focal point. The stamens have a good bokeh now, proper for the overall impression of this capture.

In brief: good work, MJ!

I think the beetle takes center stage, but the whole image is very well done! tigs=^..^=

Thanks for the comments.
I've got another shot of the same beetle perched on the stamens themselves. Might see what that looks like...

Great shot! The beetle looks lost in a sea of loveliness! I hope you do post the other image you mentioned.
