I like the way the bee is posed and she has a good size load. There is a lot of yellow in the photo so a little hard to see the subject. Any ideas how I can help this photo. Thought about adding more contrast t the bee. ### Technical Details Is this a composite: No Canon 90D Canon 180 Macro 1/200 F/11 iso 400 Bright sunny day ###### ---

Oh she’s a lovely girl and needs to bring her treasure back to the hive. What a load! You might try a radial filter around the bee and reduce the bg saturation and/or exposure. Or a brush on each petal to accomplish the same. Nice capture. The details are very good even at the biggest enlargement. ---

Dean, this looks very good as presented. The square crop fits well (although just a bit more space on the left and right is worth a look). I’m amazed at how much of the closer wing is missing. Those red stamen are a nice benefit. ---

Dean, this is a fine look at this little bee. I like that there is so much yellow. The square crop works well for me. I agree with @Mark_Seaver that a bit more room on both sides might improve the image even more. Nice image with great details. ---

Thanks @Kris_Smith , @Mark_Seaver , and @Shirley_Freeman. I still had the crop saved in LRC so I gave the edges more space. Also added just a tiny bit of contrast to just the bee. ![20210424-ASDM-Flowers-0614-Edit](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/e/b/ebecafe0bfa1ff552710853ef733f85ec3a0ca5c.jpeg) ---

Dean, I like this. I think you improved this already nice image.
