A very well done close up "action" shot. However my favorite aspect of this photograph is the way you set off the main subjects to the left third of the frame. Most of these are dead center shots, I like the offset very much.

Amazing shot. Very nice extremely close-up shot. I love how you can actually see the fur (?) on the bee, looks so soft and inviting. The color of the flowers contrasts nicely with the background. Wonderful.

Comment from Jackattack
This is so lovely. I especially like the way the colors compliment each other. I also like the way you positioned the subject in this. It adds interest, and really gives a feeling of depth to the background.
