Comment from Shirley Fernandez
Congratulation, on this shot for the contest. Not only for the capture of the bee, but the beautiful flower. Is the flower a rose? Thanks for the post, as an example, to strive for that clarity.

a well deserved contest winner, once more; excellent composition with the bee and almond flower (certainly not growing in Norway; lol;) fantastic lighting and pin sharp focus with clear details of the bee's back hair;

A fantastic close up of the Honey Bee & the Cherry Blossom from which she has or is going to suck nectar. Artistic composition with the light shining through the petals of the Cherry Blossom & giving the Bee a halo of light around her hi lighting her bristles. Artistic composition, beautiful framing lighting & background. Taken with superb camera technique & sharp focus.
