This is just fabulous. I can't stop looking at it.

The angle you shot this is wonderful.

Color is superb.

Clarity...just can't get any better.

Initial impact, what can I say, shockingly wonderful.

thanks so much for sharing this wonderful shot. I'm looking to upgrade my camera and I see you used a Nikon d7000 which is one on my list. Do you love it?

    wow.. thanks so much Click! I love my D7000 but I understand the D7100 is even better. Have you looked at that one? Also the 600 I believe. Be sure whatever you get can take the lense you now have, if you already have Nikon. And let me know what you decide :)

    Unfortunately, I have had Olympus most of my life, but they just aren't updating their cameras, and now mine isn't working quite right and it is pretty old, so I guess I need to update. Nikon feels pretty good to me, the other I'm looking at is the Sony Alpha77, I tend to take my time when making up my mind, but I'll let ya know.

Wonderful capture, nature at it's best!
Good initial impact and excellent presentation.
I like how the sunflower with shadows on it's petals is not fully in the frame. The composition of the bee is spot on in my eyes. It adds interest. Your background blends in harmony with the flower. Nice work, thank you for sharing.

So much to like about this..from the sunny color to the lovely shadows! The composition really catches the eye from the first second it opens! I really like the background color too, simply perfect to show off your bloom and bee. Donkeyoatey

The pov and composition are fantastic here and make this shot. I love the partial face of the cone flower and the placement of the bee is perfect on the thirds. Love the color gradient in the background. Great work!

Great capture. I love the angle you used and the framing. Focus, subject and background are excellent. Again, the framing and background are very creative. Well done.

Comment from Ottie


Beautiful photo. I like the colours & especially the light that adds that little extra detail & interest. The detail & closeness is great throughout especially Bee. Backgrounds works well & your angle & framing is great. :)

Hurry, I have a 6 to give to you. This is so beautiful and sunny in colour. The busy little bee is hard at work. A wonderful capture. I can nearly hear the beating on the wings.
