C&C is welcome. Should I have used a bigger aper for this? Anything else? A tighter crop, perhaps? An ND filter?

I like it the way it is. I'm curious why you ask about using the ND filter. What were your thoughts there?

Well, to be honest, I'm not sure if some people are using ND filters to darken the backgrounds of their flower pics or are using a flash to illuminate the flower but keep the background dark or maybe a combination of both and I'm trying to find out.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about, pulled off the web:

Thanks. The underside of the bee seemed rather dark so I isolated it (just learned how to do that) and lightened up just the bee. I think it looks better now.
