Dead on the bee, the flower's red is oversaturated. I struggle with getting the colors right on flowers myself. Well done on the capture, getting a bee in flight is not easy.

Neat perspective but a little overdone on the flash.

Thanks for the many wonderful comments and votes in spite of my beginners mistake of forgetting to straighten the horizon. There are so many great photographers at DPC sometimes I think a good part of the challenge is being in the right place at the right time. This was one of those moments. We were camping at the beach at the end of the rainy season and about a hour before sunset a big storm rolled by. The darkness of the clouds combined with two ND filters allowed me to get the smooth look I was looking for. Several of you asked about a B&W version. I'll put it in the outakes with a straightened horizon :)

Congrats to the top 3 great winning photos.
