Great shot David! Just reminded me about an old unused 2xTC I have with the contacts that I can convert like you have - so thank you!

Lovely composition David, they always look too heavy for the grass stem! Out of interest I tried a horizontal flip on it and I liked the way it then led my eye down to the bee rather than up from it.

Perfect title, it looks as if that's exactly what it's doing
