This tiny little bee was really busy on this one flower in our flower garden for a minute or two, so I was able to capture a few shots till I got what I wanted. Appreciate all comments and critiques.

Shirley, wow!, the red/yellow color combination really pops here. With itâs yellow covering of pollen the bee fits into the color scheme perfectly. Easy to see why this is âwhat I wantedâ.

Love the brilliant colors Shirley and the detail youâve captured in this little bee. His eye is so sharp, the pollen all over him and the detail on his wings are terrific. Very nicely done, great job

Amazing color! Well composed. Nice touch of pollen on the bee. Maybe I donât have to be afraid of saturation anymore (in a good way).
David, I didnât add any saturation at all in processing, this was just a touch of contrast added, otherwise, colors are like it came out of the camera.

A real sense of drama in this image, Shirley - with the hot colours, the rush of petals radiating from the centre and the pollen splashes on the bee,
