I like the way you captured the light. I'm surprised this didn't do better with the voters.

If this were just an image of a bee on some flowers, then there are some "things" that might be "done" to it (cropping, either a bit more extreme contrast or perhaps a bit less, and blah). But it's not that, is it? No. It's an image of a scary flower. A really scary flower. One that has been charged by the sun and is about to devour that poor little bee. And after that? It might just be coming after us. Scary, man.

I am a little surprised that this didn't do better, as I love the play of light in this backlighting..

Nice lighting. I'd suggest cropping in a bit on the left, too. But really, I'd be curious to know how this would look seriously out of focus. That would push the viewer to admire the shapes, darks, and lights, without trying to see details that just aren't there.

Nice backlighting. A tighter crop might be justified here.

DonĀ“t really get the title, are we just supposed to take your word for the golden glow?

Excellent! :) A tighter crop might have minimized the distraction of the blurred leaf in the foreground, but such is life in basic edit! :)

Nice image - I like the composition in a weird sort of way - Seems to be lacking some sharpness which images like these need to be.

A different crop to remove the bottom left leave would have help, IMO.
