Hi Susan,
What a lovely colourful photo. The bee is slightly blurry, but I read your explanation for that in replying to another review.
The colours are beutifully natural and the composition is just right.

Such a lovely scene of this yellow wild rose against its lush leaves. The bee added so much life in this scene. Great focus, angle, and exposure setting. Points of improvement is just to sharpen it a little bit to give more definition of the stamens and the bee.

A lovely capture of this HoneyBee on a yellow flower. A nice presentation, but not quite as sharp as it could be. But a nice visual to see. I would love to be able to catch a shot like this.

    Michele,
    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this Irish Honeybee on the St John's wort flower. As the Bee is doing what is known as Buzz Pollination it vibrates at a speed that with my compact camera it's impossible to get very sharp focus. Not an excuse but an explanation.

The bee blended in a little bit with this flower. I know it is collecting pollen for it hive. Marvelous job taking this photograph. Excellent work, thank you for sharing!

This is a beautiful shot of the honeybee feasting on the flower! The framing, light, shadows, and colours all come together perfectly. Nice effort!
