Nice shot!
This is a really nice photograph! The colors are nice. The detail is good and I like the background! This is a very big improvement from some of the others. Keep up the good work!

What a stunning flower!! The tiny bees just enhance the beauty and natural wonder!! Pin Sharp focus and gorgeous vibrant colors and wonderful control of lighting! Perfect framing for the lovely closeup!! Oh I just notice several flies also, how awesome!!

Comment from Cephus


Interesting and wonderful plant displayed with good composition, like how the plant flows. The crop may be just a bit tight.

The image color balance is off resulting is blue bugs and the loss of the red end of the color spectrum that has impacted the color of the plant. Apparently this image was taken in the shade under a blue sky and the camera should be set to shade or blue sky and not the sunny setting. The sunny setting assumes a yellowish light where as the shade is a very blue light.

The exposure is a little to high resulting in the loss of detail in the yellow flowers.

I recommend shooting in RAW as it will allow an image like this to be adjusted. Use the color balance on the raw image processer and adjust the exposure. This should result in much improved color, greener greens, non blue bees and better flower colors and detail.

Well, the attraction for me is a beautifully composed and framed image of a fascinating flower. I do like the angle of the shot. Excellent clarity and detail. Pretty much perfect, really.

Great looking shot of Nature. it is a double whammy! Both the flowers and the bees/ flies look so colourful! The light, sharpness and the overall composition have worked well. Good effort.!
