Good looking sunflower against the sky BG. I would be tempted to crop from the right, back to about a 4:5 frame.

Like the comp here, Scott ( always a fan of negative space - smile !! ) and the processing, which gives a slightly graphic feel to the image. The bees are a delight !!

I think the negative space works well for this Scott, no complaints.
I especially like the lightly clouded BG, great colors & light.
The bee inflight nails it for me :wink:
Well done :toast:
