As always a beautiful photograph.
Love the colors and how the bee can go on top of the thistle and not get hurt, but that's what his job is.
Really like the lighting and the background is muted but supports the colors of the flower.
Great job.
Thanks for sharing.

What a delightful photo this is. The flower and the bud are beautiful enough, but adding the bee (?) is like adding icing on the cake. It is so delightful. The background coloring is also tremendous, it really sets off the coloring of the flowers. The silver leaves really are nice.

    You know me too well, lol. Yes, I always am a sucker for the purple, as long as the rest of the work lives up to the purple, that is.

Great detail. The two thistle heads, one open in flower the other closed balance the photo & the little bee adds interest.
