[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Late spring on Crete Island in the Medditerranean. Obviously not only bees collect pollen. This beetle, that has headlong plunged in the poppy flower has already gathered a ball of pollen but is greedy for more.

Hi Anton,
An awesome capture!
I can feel the dynamics here, as the action is well captured!
Macro wise you do a fine job... Good focus and fine colours!
