    I think this can be a beautiful image, probably because of the colors (I like them). And you got the bee sharp where it counts given the way you photograph this photo. If this were mine, I would try doing some toning here and there and I think this can looks pretty good.

    Kostas, I think the base image is fine and as Desmond said, some selective tweaks could make this look great. Lighten up the bee and the flowers and sharpen the bee's eye. There's some nice detail on that bee that isn't showing because it's too dark. The BG is bright and as it is now, the main subject(s) are having a hard time competing with it.

    Hey Kostas,
    Very good advice given above! You do some work on this and it will take it up another notch.
