An impressive photograph of nature! The bee appears to be having a feast.! The framing is thoughtfully executed, and the balance of light, shadows, and colours enhances the overall composition. Fantastic work! Here's my first six for you. Cheers!

Amazing focus, Mark. I love the prominent stamens of this cactus and its guest. The angle is also superb showing the vivid anthers on the lower part. Lighting could have been improve to also include the upper anthers. If you still have this flower try capturing this with the light on the overall stamens not just the lower portion. This is really a beautiful entry but can still be improve.

Mark,
A beautiful picture of the Honeybee with full pollen baskets flying over the Cactus's stamens bathed in a pool of sunlight framed with by it's silky white petals. A sunbeam sparkles on the tip of the bee's abdomen. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A good looking image presented here into the competition! Your fine macro composition grants us an enjoyable of view of the centre of your beautiful bloom. Textures, tones and detail are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!
