Darren: Bee balm is a hard flower to shoot IMO because of its somewhat chaotic structure but you’ve done really well here. My only suggestion would be to crop the right side to 5x4 ratio. Very nicely done. >=))>
Do wish the flower was not so far gone, but the bee gives the image a story. The off centered placement works well for me and the background is natural.
