Everything about this shot is great! The bee makes it so much more interesting the just a lonely flower. The details are wonderful and so are the colors.

The bee is wonderful and so is the orange flower - really dazzles the eyes. Nice one.

Without the bee this would be a pretty good shot (definitly with great detail and color) but it would be nothing special. With the bee, however, it is really interesting. Along with the detail, color, and good composition this is a really good shot. Nice capture.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments. I'm chuffed :). It's a nice plant and it did most of the work!

I'm surprised this photo also made it into the top hundred (based on "interestingness") for the day it was posted (#65).
