Excellent close up of this busy little bee in the centre of the lovely Poppy. The softened background works very well. Lighting and focus very good showing a lovely crisp image. Excellent composition. Suzanne

Really a great shot of this bee inside the center of this bright red poppy.
Excellent clarity and detail as the wings have a nice minor iridescence.
Looks like it was a bright sunny day and the red color is still nice and vibrant. Pleasure to view.

I love poppies! This is well photographed, good focus, the image is clear and well exposed, the bee is snuggled right in to the center if the flower, I love the way the petals fold up around him as he feeds on the sweet nectar. Well composed against the blurred background , bringing the flower forward nicely. Well presented!

What a great shot of this bee in a poppy, the bright colors of the flower really standout from the green background, like the details in the wings of the bumble bees, a pleasure to look at, thank you for sharing, dale

What a great shot! I love how you got so close to get all the details of he bee inside the bright red poppy. That takes some amazing skill. Love the up close framing and the angle of the flower. It is just an overall good photo.

Wow what a spectacular photo. Amazing color and detail. Perfectly framed. Wonderful exposure. The busy bee is working hard for the sweet nectar of the beautiful flower and has no idea he is providing you with a wonderful photo. Nicely captured!

Comment from Linda Wetzel
This is really such an interesting image. The petals of the poppy are fully opened and create such a vibrant cup to nestle the bumblebee as it loads up on the pollen from the stamen. The blended greens of the leafy background create a nice framework that makes the bee and the poppy stand out.
