Shallow Depth of Field

Metadata 

Focal Length: 55mm
Shutter Speed: 1/200 second
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 200
Camera Mode: Manual
Metering Mode: Centerweighted-Averag
In this image I used a lower aperture to create shallow a depth of field, allowing the focus to be placed on the bee. I cropped the image to better frame the bee and flower. I also wanted photo cropped so that the image had a better balance between the bright flower and dark blurred background. The shutter speed of 200 was fast enough to capture the moving bee while also still being slow enough to let in enough light.
