Shot in a National Trust Garden in Cornwall. Taken with my Nikon D40 and Sigma 105mm macro lens. A bit tricky as the lens is manual focus only on the D40 as it lacks a motor in the body. Fast shutter speed and many photos later ...

Bumble should have listened to everyone, as -- drunk on a few pints of honey that night -- he went head on into a brown-eyed Susan.

7 - Nice capture and colors. This image grows on you, especially with your good composition.

Great moment; love how the bee is almost entirely within the soft focus petal. Soft focus works well here.

I want to like this because I see a lot of effort and I know this was a difficult shot to get. Not a lot of sharp focus areas however, it does not lead my eye to either the bee or the flower. I really want to give this one a high vote, (it's better than I could do), but I can't.
