Super shot! Excellent sharpmess and clarity! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Great title. Does look like it wants to hog it all. Great close-up with fine detail on the bee. Framed and cropped perfectly too. Well done!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this Bombus lucorum Bumble Bee head down deep into the stamens of this Cosmos Flower sucking up nectar while by default collecting pollen on her body & not in her pollen baskets as yet. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

You bet all mine your bumble bee says. Everything in beautiful colors and enjoy how its transparent wings cast their shadows on the beautiful white petals. Stamens show up well along with the bee. Thank You for sharing.
