I think it would be better if the head and the eyes are sharper.

Hi Kostas, I love the colors in this one. I might be inclined to clone out the stray bits of orange on the purple petals if it is not against your ethics. The right eye looks sharper than the left one, I wonder if a separate round of sharpening on the left eye might make them look more equal. Nice one!:S3:

Nice one, Kostas! Though the head could use a bit more shapening, the rest is really crisp and sharp. The bee contrast nicely with the purple flower, and I like the overhead perspective.

Thanks Folks :)

Hi Kostas. The mix of purple and orange colors on the flower really add a lot to your image. The natural light works well here and I like the way it picks up some of the texture in the wings - without producing harsh spectral highlights. The slight diagonal comp of the fly is also a nice touch. You might have an even stronger image if the fly was facing towards us rather than away :S3: - just something to try for next time you're in the field.
