It would be a good idea to get the insect's eyes in the image.

The eyes were in the original. This photo is two years old, and the grass grew up around the bee during that time. That, good friend, is a joke. The real explanation is that this was a quickie shot. The bee was gone a split second after I pushed the shutter, which was done another split second after getting the camera in the bee's proximity. I didn't have time to set up a second shot. (I might need to explain that statement as well. As a photojournalist, I developed a habit when, approaching a news event, I would take pictures as I walked toward it, so I would have on film the closest view possible if circumstances dictated a quick withdrawal. Same with the bee. But yes, I should have been more conscious of the grass.)
