A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of your pretty bee and it's location. Like the body detail and gleam. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

I actually think bees love herb plants. I have a few, and it was more bees on them than on other flowers. You have pictured this one so well, and I especially like the delicate light green background. With the plant having the same use, it is a lovely limited pallet in the photo. The bee is standing out from it in an excellent way.

Your focus is spot on and sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the bee. The exposure is perfect.

The photo is nicely cropped and the bee has got a very fine placement off to the left. This of course makes for a good and well balanced composition. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

An excellent photograph of the bee on the basil flower. Such good focus and clarity showing the hairs on the bee and the texture of the flower. Well done!
