What a serendipitous happening that the bee arrived just as you focused on this lovely sunflower, with the bright light shining through. A lovely sunny image. Well done.

A beautiful summery look. I like the cropping and the great colors. The lighting is beautiful on the petals but not so great for the bee.

Awesome macro shot. I think this is as good as they come. I like the way you captured the sunlight illuminating the yellow pedals like that, it looks great. The colors and exposure looks great. The depth of field is spot on and the clarity is perfect. You can see every detail. Great photograph.
