Dramatic, appealing, and an excellent composition.
I really like the darkness of this composition, as it adds to the drama.
A great start to this side challenge.

I am so pleased that you have come along on this journey with us.
I love the color purple, so you have won me already.
Great detail captured here, in the center of this flower.

That bee is sure hungry, and totally into this flower.

A feeling of mystery and unknown in this one. It is like the bee is smothering himself in the nectar of this flower.

Quite dramatic as a thumbnail, but even more so, when opening this fully. The color is so striking and so appealing.
I also love the textures as well, and the bee just completes this fine image.....

Squash Blossoms and Thyme

What a warm lovely still life you have here, and sharing with us. At first I thought they were pumpkin flowers, but see they are squash flowers and very similar.
The DOF, along with the balanced focused areas, work so well together with this floral image.

The color is so soft, but also quite sensuous, and so appealing.

I agree that a tighter crop would make this really 'POP'.

The clarity, focus, and color, all work a treat for me, and thank you for sharing this awesome floral image with us.

The journey has begun.....
