Mike, superb composition, marvelous abdomenal curve, great mix of colors, and a terrific capture. Definitely a winner! (*) A modest thought, here the dark background blends somewhat into the bee's head, perhaps a higher angle, or slight photoshop adjustment, might allow more of the bee to contrast with the lighter background at the lower right -- on the other hand, a different angle might have diminished the wonderful shape you captured. -- R.J.
