A wonderful image Bill. Great comp, color, BG. I like everything about this. If you hadn't gotten the model release I suppose the party crasher was already lawyered up. Well Done.

Beautiful color and clarity, Bill! Nice bg. I like the position of the insect on the flower. It adds interest without distracting my eyes from the beautiful colors and shapes of the petals.

Bill - Lovely. I specially like the size of the Hoverfly in the frame - makes me enjoy the flower and the Hover both. The pink washes in the background also look awesome !

What a delicious collection of colors and the bee is a neat, special addition. This one's definitely a wall hanger.

I had the same reaction as Albert...who needs stacks when you can do it like this? I guess novices like me...the DOF here is excellent & your BG is wonderfully soft.

Amazing detail in such a small bee. He adds life to this lovely image. the cooler tones in the bg make this rose glow. Very nice
