Beeeeeutiful, suggest crop in close aroungd the bee with the bee at the bottom of the crop and bring the sky into the top frame of the photo.

I hate bee's, (irrational fear), but this is an incredible capture.

You have a definite flair for macro work, great perspective & DOF!

( Ihad a go at possible cropping, Portrait in my view does not work, tried Landscape & came to the same conclusion. The bit of negative space, the sky above the flower, is okydoyky!)

Thank you for all your kind comments and invites. Gecko matrix & vtpeacenik, your crop suggestion is a good one, I wasnt sure where to crop it as I felt that maybe there was a bit too much sky etc

i don't think this picture needs cropping at all, the sky works well with the flower and bee, great close up.

The washed out corner is actually interesting here. And it's a nice contrast with all the contrasting colors that somehow work and make this shot luminous.

Unbelievable shot, this is really great. Don't think you can crop much better, maybe a little less sky at the top, more of a landscape crop? Not much, it really has a good sense of dimension now :::

Great capture of the soft colors and mood of the flower and sky vs. the more dramatic colors of the bee leaning over the pollen fountain for a swig.

Definitely a winner!!!
