i really like the clean simplistic look. the only unfortunate thing is that the bees kinda blend into the flower. too bad they don't stand out more.

I am sorry you didn't get much closer. Maybe the sunflowers were too tall, as mine are. I think that would have felt more like a macro shot to me, and been more dramatic.

I don't like the composition with the flower in the middle and lots of space around it which doesn't add anything. The main subject (center of flower and bees) is also rather dark. Good sharpness though.

The background is a bit overblown and the center of the flower too dark.

I love the high-key effect and the fact that you didn't lose your edges on leaves or petals. The bees end up a little too dark, but the flowers are so powerful one hardly cares! I love this shot!
