 Haven't submitted anything in a loooonnnnngggg time, so hopefully this won't bomb. Also hoping people don't think that the bee's pollinated butt looks like a result of over-sharpening. It's not perfect but I couldn't resist showing off a California gem like an artichoke flower. The bee was just a bonus (even though I have a huge phobia of them). Fingers crossed!

Did not know that's what artichokes looked like. Who knew they had such a beautiful purple flower? Beautiful captured. Lovely colors.

Very nice colour and depth of field. I like to see the eyes of subjects, if the bee was coming towards us it would look great. I like the space that you have left around the bee, great detail too.
