Hello Fartash,
Good to see you back and with an excellent macro of a Mining Bee on a pretty flower. Very fine details and natural colours.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Fartash,

I think your off-centre composition is excellent.
All the radiating lines on the petals appear to be guiding the eyes into the centre of the flower to find the bee. There, the bee appears to be hugging the centre.
I find this a really charming and detailed shot.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Fartash,
Well composed and attractive image mf.
I like the warm colors, details, and DOF bringing the flowers petals in well..Are you sure this is a mining bee? It looks like a honey bee to me.
Well done!
