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

    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!

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

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