Very nice, sharp, vivid, crisp, great DOF, maybe a diff crop to get a leading line or diag line or rule of third? Still a great image!

Cool shot. Nice job on the exposure. Nailed the focus. Great detail and color and clarity. Good job, really good.

Very nice detail on the wing. Flower is somewhat overexposed, which caused loss of detail. Maybe it was a bit overprocessed? anyway, some of the ways I take care of overexposure is to spot edit color in to take away the white areas. You can do it as layers by keeping your well exposed image on the same page as your edited one and switch between the two, layer the better exposure and detail over the overblown highlight.

Mint? I get the urge to turn up the purples a little (not easy with purples), perhaps darken the lavenders. Might be able to do it with levels. Alternatively, you could turn down the saturation overall and let the bee stand out more. Perhaps a teeny bit too sharpy-sharpy, especially on the blooms near the bee. However I like your sharp definition in his wings. Good catch.
