A terrific look at this bee in a lovely setting.  I like the balance between the bee and the flower's inner parts.

Very nice, Sandy. I like how you were able to get this level perspective of the bee deep within the flower, giving you nice details in the flower and wall to wall color.  Good detail in the bee which is set off nicely by the lavender flower.

Love the soft lilac color of the flower Sandy. Your perspective straight on the bee is amazing. Nice detail, light, DOF, all of it is hitting on all cylinders. Really nice work.

Wonderful shot, Sandy.
I like the perfect details and the position into the flower.
