I really like the bee but feel there is a bit too much of the OOF plant in comparison to the bee. I also wish his yellow backside wasn't up against a yellow flower! I think you'd get more "oomph" with a different color opposite the bottom half of his body.

Gus, Wonderful detail on the Bee but I agree with Jules on the OOF plant and the yellow under the Bee.
