Aimee,
A beautiful picture of the Sea Holly with two Buff-tail Bumblebees on it the light glisteing in their Gossamer wings & their deep yellow stripes contrasting with superb blue purple of the Sea Holly. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Such a unique entry in this Flower Contest showcasing the blossom of the thistle in a different or latter stage. I love the prominent textures resulting from excellent focus and angle.

This photo is very nice, I love how you captured the bees working. Focus is very nice and the coloration of the background really makes the subjects pop.

A stunning capture of this Alpine Thistle. Focus and clarity are great showing the spiky leaves, and the colors are awesome. Also, we have two complimentary Bees to view.

Aimee, this is a beautiful capture of this Alpine thistle. It looks treacherous for those who get near it except for the bees, living it up. The colors are purple and steel blue and are sharp and distinct features. Excellent entry for the contest. Ray

The mix of soft and sharp edges adds depth without needing realistic detail.! The framing, light, shadows, and colours all come together perfectly. Nice effort! Good luck!
