Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a beautiful image and such clarity. You always have the sweetest flower shots!

There is not a lot I see wrong with this image, the only thing that bothers me personally is the crop on the right side. I see you crop, crop, crop, crop but I wonder if you cropped just a bit more on the right and instead of the line right on the edge of the one petal, moving it in a bit so the inside of th petal takes you through the shot.

Also the bottom right corner is a bit distracting, the cropping would take care of a fair share of it and then you could darken what is left.

Other than that I have nothing to offer in way of critique on this picture but I will say once again, WOW!!!

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Nice composition but I'm afraid this says yellow rather than gold to me

I almost scrolled down too far and rated this; had to scroll back up. Lovely composition. Nice use of DoF. The white object in the lower righthand corner bugs me a little but I like the image overall. Sense of serenity with the insect's wings so still.

I am totally not into bees or flowers, but this one is unique and has a very captivating look to it. Great job to impress me with a flower! 10.
