The way the petals of the flower encircle the bee is very attractive. The colors are great and the bee is shown in very fine detail. An eye catching presentation with excellent colors.

Looks like someone is hard at work. A lovely photo. I like the way the bee is portrayed there, doing his job and collecting nectar to bring home to the hive for the honeymaking process.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this Bumble Bee collecting pollen from the bright red Field Poppy. I think the bee is a Bombus Pascorum, the light dancing off the iridescence of it's gossamer wings. The Poppy & the Bee standing out against the soft blurred greens of the background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

i simply adore poppies ,love painting them too ..so meaningful to many. You have focused in well to capture the gorgeous reddy/oranges of this flower and the enhancement of it has been achieved through your defused backdrop..well done
