Wonderful detail in the bee, Dan and a very pleasing composition, though I think you could crop up to just below the flower. The dark area at the bottom doesn’t really seem to add anything.
Dan, very nice detail and beautiful flower.
I agree with Dennis that the dark area is distracting, and this would be better cropped so it’s only flower and bee.
Nice find!

Hi Dan,
Good work with a fairly wide open aperture. Lighting is fairly strong and I find the highlights to be a distraction. Cropping some from the bottom will strengthen your composition and details are ideal. Well done…Jim
I agree with all the others. A crop of the bottom and pull in the sides to maintain the same crop ratio is a solid recommendation. All the bottom black disappears and the bee still remains in the LL third.
Nice repost, Dan. I’ve second guessed myself into following some compositional “rule” that doesn’t really work with the image far too many times.
Dan: I do prefer the crop but now wish the bee had a bit more room. Can’t have everything I suppose. Still a very good image.>=))>
Dan, the details and sharpness of the bee are outstanding. The colors and details in the flower are also great. The cropping is a tough choice. I like the original a bit better as I find the bee too close to the bottom in the cropped version. I think including some or even all of the petal edges at the bottom works well.
