I went yesterday morning to shoot a patch of wild iris that I had been driving past. While there this Bumblebee woke up and started looking for breakfast. In some it was on the wrong bloom or in shadoe.It finally got in position for a couple shots,this is the best shot for the Iris but the Bee could be better. Had a great day anyhow.

Love these Irises. Nice DOF, throwing the background our of focus. I might crop off the very top as that distracts from the rest of the image...otherwise it looks good, Kendall.
I like the inclusion of the bumblebee - nice catch!
I agree with Toni about the cropping.
And, sure, try using the healing brush to see what might happen for removing the blade of grass. However, seeing how it's overlaying the rear-facing petal, I doubt that you'll be able to improve the photograph, and it will probably look worse (upon close inspection)...
