This is a spectacular image. Great focus and clarity. Amazing detail and interest.
Two bees hanging together busy at work for their queen. Well captured and presented.
A beautiful contest entry. I wish you the best of luck.

Dying to know in what country you live! I have never seen bees like this and you photographed them beautifully. Such perfect focus, and the orange centers of the flowers complement the orange on the bees.

This is really a perfect entry into the contest. It's well focused, detailed and colorful. Rarely do you see two bees on one plant. Great capture.

Nice capture. The angle of the shot of this colorful flower and bees is great. The clarity 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.

All the pollinators in my area are quite fond of Alliums of all kinds. This flower is particularly colorful and makes a fine setting for the bees which are shown in very good detail.

Great clarity in this macro image of the furry bumble bees on this mauve Alium flower. Good lighting and focus. I would have probably cropped the top a bit more (that is just me). Nice shallow depth of field. Well captured!

Excellent close up of the two busy Bumble Bees at work on the lovely Alium flower. The softened background pushes them forward very well. Very good lighting and focus showing great detail in the markings. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne
