    This is an amazing image! Light colours and the bee - put this over the top! Head looks slightly soft to me as I think that critical focus was on the flower. Would crop a bit less and maybe some more room on the right.

    Lovely iridescence on the sunbird Chris, sharp, and I like the overall setting. Of course the bee just adds another dimension.

    Hope you had a great trip to GC.

    Wow, what a blast of colors! This is great and having the bee in the image is un-bee-lievable!

    Can't blame him. I would stop eating too if a bee were coming up from behind.

    Lovely color and the bee just adds to this unique image.
