Nice capture. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of these flowers and bug is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

an outstanding capture grace: the goldenrod soldier beetle seemw to ask himself if it is really safe to get closer to the bumble bee; excellent sharp focus and details;

nice one Grace! Kinda looks like our milkweed bugs here that always invade the Milkweeds in which the Monarchs thrive.

Your colors are dynamite and your clarity is perfect!

A stunning nature shot of the Soldier Beetle and Bumble Bee on the purple flowers and buds. Spectacular lighting and sharp focus with good details throughout your image. Your diffused background compliments your work nicely. Your light and shadows are perfect as well. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Grace this photo is truly amazing! You have captured both of these insects with such incredible focus and clarity, in addition to the intricate detail of the flowers. The colors are so true and beautiful and I'm in love with the gorgeous background really enhancing all the subjects. The detail in each bug is perfect! This is really an outstanding shot and such a pleasure to review.

Great capture, Grace, showing these two buddies at work on the same flowers. I like the poses you caught, showing their different markings very well. The softened background foliage makes a perfect frame. Excellent lighting and focus showing great detail. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Quite a nice nature scene posted here! Your fine classical composition offers us an enjoyable look at your lovely nature scene! Like the contrast in the motion of the beetle downwards and the lovely blooms pointing upwards. Well done!

Nice clear shot of the beetle. The bumblebee is a bonus but not the real subject, Interesting to view. Good clear focus, good color, good background. Well done.
