Beautiful, Sandy. I like the position of the leaves above the bloom. The bee is a nice bonus that adds some scale to the flower.

Sandy: Marvelous handling of the whites and the bee party crasher is icing on the cake. Top notch.>=))>

I like this , except for the cyan cast in the petals and leaves. You might try desaturizing the cyan to see where it takes you.

Hi Sandy

I really like this and agree the off flower bee adds to it.
It looks good both ways but I might like it better in a horizontal position . I kind of wondered if you meant it that way due to the signature blocks position.

This was the original orientation. I tried it horizontally, but the petal direction looked unnatural and odd.
I try to put my copyright in a place where it won’t detract from the image, or cover important parts. I liked the faint green leaves in the lower part here and didn’t want to obscure them.
