Beautiful flower. Should have come in more to call it "Bee". As "Flower with Bee" it would have gotten at least an 8 because that better fits your picture, in my opinion. As "Bee" I can only give it a 6 because with your title I expected to see a close up of a bee. Still 6 ain't nothing to be sneezed t. Sorry.. PTL
Nice shot of the flower... too far from the bee, though. A tighter shot of the center of the flower with a more prominent bee would have been more striking.
An object this centered should be taken much closer, or cropped in much closer. The photo is pretty good, but the shallow DOF of macro does not lend itself to having foreground images this much closer than the subject. On the brighter side, it is a good capture and the subject is in good focus. Overall the image would be much better if the framing was changed. - Inspzil
