Amazing macro photo of this wonderful flower and a bee. The composition, the colors, the light and shadow, everything is fabulous in this piece of Art. The overall impression is very pleasing too. Thank you for sharing! Alex.

This has real impact - very well observed shot, great angle and a great variety of colours and textures. Good level of detail - I love the shadows too. These bees make superb honey!

Cleo, I love the colors, I love the clairity of the detail, I love the shadows of the blossoms ringing the main stalk. This is so different and unique from the usual flower/insect presentation. So, I hope that you get that I really love this image. Beautifully composed and thought out. Sandy

Thank you so much for your generous review. Don't worry about the bees. These little Maya bees aren't killers. I live here for almost 14 years. We had several nests around. I never heard that anyone were stung.Sorry for my late response.

This photo is very clear and the angle is excellent. The colors and design of this plant work well together and the bees and wasps are a great bonus. Joan
