These flowers are truly beautiful, but the bee is not standing out so well. Perhaps you lost some of it by transferring it. The background is however truly lovely with the green foliage, and the flowers are standing out from it in an excellent way.

The photo is quite sharp and it is clear details to be seen in the flowers. The white balance and exposure is perfect.

The format and framing is working really well, and the flowers have got a fine placement within the frame. All together a lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    Thanks. I am more an artist than a photographer, or I have done little work with camera settings. Your comments helped so.

The white petaled flowers are well photographed, I like their angle of placement within the frame, they are well focused, the image is clear, exposure is correct, colors and tones appear natural. I find the white spots in upper left to be a distraction, they draw the eye off of the flowers, I do not see the ants, and the bee is difficult to see.
I would crop to eliminate the white spots in upper left.
For me it's the flowers that appear to be the main subject. Good luck to you .

The flowers are so perfect, beautiful and well focused, that bee though, I couldnt figure out what was wrong with it until I noticed that you have transferred to another, well that tells it all, the two ants are interesting,

    Thanks much. I probably should have transferred the ants on these two flowers to the two flowers the bee was on. You are very observant.

A beautiful picture of these crimson centred white Rose of Sharon Hibiscus with a bumblebee near the centre & two black Ants on the white portion of the petals. The flowers beautifully framed by their green foliage. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera & editing techniques and sharp focus.

It's such a beautiful click of white Hibiscus flowers and it was nice going through the detailed narrative you were so kind to share on your photographic artwork. It's a great entry to the contest and I think those two ants beside the bee on the white flower make it even more special and exciting!! Best wishes for the contest

I love the colors of this photo...the bright white and pink flowers with the dark green foliage. It's difficult to see the bee so maybe zooming in more would be helpful. Good luck!

This is an interesting gathering of insects. Apparently the bee collects pollen while the two ants approach the flower center from the opposite. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the refinement of detail and the realism of light and color. The white balance is correct. The flowers are well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Beautiful photograph of these two Rose of Sharon's flowers. For a second I did not see the two ants. Nicely captured. Good focus and lighting. Sharp detail. Well composed. Nicely done. Good luck in the photo contest.
