A wild guess would be that the bees were communicating. Liked the complimentary colors of the lily.
comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

WOW the color just radiates from this image add the two Bees and wonderful comp, excellent image.

Those bees totally take this image over the top! Love the way they are looking at each other - it really pulls the viewer in and you really made the most of their being in the image.

Only thought I had (and it's pretty minor) would be to darken the one part of the petal in the ULC that is lighter than the rest - that does grab my eye at first. Everything else is really wonderful. You did a great job on keeping those yellows in check, Bill!

[Steve Maxson]

You nailed this one, William! The colors, sharpness, DOF, and the interaction between the 2 bees make this one special.

[Dave Mills]

Hi Bill, You did a very nice job on this but I agree about the small bright area on the upper left. Nice work!!

Beautiful image William. Excellent IQ and I love the colours, sharp detail and comp. Ditto Julie on darkening the bit of petal in ULC.:)

Awesome! Great colors, interesting subject, excellent DOF and the "glow" from within the flower finishes it off.
Wonderfully done.
