A wonderful reason to have a garden! I miss my hundreds of sunflowers but the last time the dear ate them all up and I've not tried again....
Wonderful colors with an excellent point of focus and DOF! Sharp and well detailed. Good center of interest and well framed.
Good lighting and exposure. Nice technique and technical excellence.
Good impact!

Regards,

Paul

Nice capture. The bee against the blue stands out wonderfully. The colors are wonderful and it's overall soft and appealing to look at. Nice work.

This is a real gem of a capture. Such clarity of colour in the flower, and the bee is perfectly defined. I love the off centre positioning - it adds to the fabulous impact.

This buzzing bee looks cute as it hit busily head first into the center of the flower. The fine hairs of its fuzzy body and its transparent wings are sharp captured. The natural light is well used the emphasize the bee. The colors are harmonic. The background amplifies bee and flower nicely.

Great shot of this Bumblebee. The sharp details are great as one can see not only the tiny bits of pollen on the legs but also can see the abdomen through the wings. The flower is nicely rendered and has good placement in the frame. Background accentuates the main subjects. Really well done Pat ~ Steve

A very sharp image of the bee. You can count the hairs on its body. The cornflower is well shown and the colors are fantastic. An appealing shot with excellent cropping.

Comment from GaliaG
puty the background, mainly on the upper part is so dark,
it distracts and it's contrast with the bright part of the flower takes from the initial impact, also the bee focus is too soft

thanks for sharing

Superb shot of nature. You have timed it well in capturing the bee feasting on the nectar! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
A dynamic image with all the features seemingly floral blown by a breeze despite the weight of the heavy bee!

EyeCATching image.
Controlled illumination casting soft highlights & faint shadows.

Verdant backdrop is visually refreshing.
Blue petals...sooooo soothing!

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...
