A smooth landing

It was nice to get the bee when it was just about to land, with wings fluttering, on this Calendula. One can even make out the bee's face.
Since the background was a building and a moving bus (!!!), the background work took several hours of cloning in PS. I wanted to retain as much of the natural colors as I could but obfuscate the background elements and this without disturbing the motion of the bee's wings.
