Very nice capture of the bee on the white petaled flower.
I like the face forward -position of the bee and its placement within the frame off on the left.
Well focused , this image is sharp and clear and your exposure and white balance are correct. The colors abd tones appear natural.
You have brought out well defined detail in the bee and in the flower.
Well composed and presented!

Thank you, as you know a little luck comes in to play with Mother Nature. Strangely the bees seemed to disappear as I got closure and went to another raspberry blossom deeper in the woods. Waited and just picked one blossom and waited then here it landed, said hello and smile for me.

This bee means business!! That is one big and thick big!! Don't no one mess with him while he is collecting pollen! Such an amazing shot of this bee pollinating! Great job, thank you for sharing!

Lucky for me, just totally quiet and waited. The dogs were not helping so just tied them to a tree.
