Oh, I love bee shots - they can be so difficult to get sometimes too! I love the soft pinks and reds in this - could possibly be a little sharper but even as it is, it's very pretty

capturing the bee is a great find on this deep rich colored flower - i wonder if it could be a bit sharper to really bring out the detail

Beautiful flower - the colours are lovely. Could possibly be a bit sharper and may even benefit from a slight levels adjustment to brighten it ever so slightly.

Very nice colors and textures especially on the little bee fur.

Cute bee! Image seems a little on the grainy side, but nice composition

Bees aren't mean, just very protective.
Bees only have one stinger and they die once they do, so they don't want to sting unless its the last resort.
Wasps on the other hand are mean! They regrow their stingers so they have no qualms about using it!
I love the fuzzy hairs on this fat little worker bee. So cute!

Fun to see all the petals converging on that (temporary) center of attraction, the pollinating bee.

Funny how I like to try to capture the bees at work too...my obsession tends to be a bit dangerous though--I'm allergic to their sting, so that means I'm quite careful.
Yeah ... it's the daredevil in me to keep trying to capture them.
Very well done. Keep up the good work.

Why must critters that look so cute and fluffy be so mean?? I want to snuggle with that little guy, but I bet he wouldn't like that.

Your focus is a bit off, and it would be nice if he was more illuminated by the sun or a flash. I can completely understand why you didn't want to position the flower to get more light on him though, heh.

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

Thanks you for sharing this floral image with us.
Our journey has just begun.....

Lovely, inviting color & a busy bee (love their fuzzy look), with beautiful light & shadow.

It's another bee! He looks a bit sprawled, like he's napping on the job ;-) I like the light on the flower petals, too.
