Ariel, let me be the first to say...WOW! what a colorful photo. The blurred bg works really good with this burst of sunshine. Great techs, you are getting really good with your photos...can't wait until you get your new lenses...what will you come up with then...Charlene

It's a snap Snake! great shot, the yellow is very vivid and you cropped it down, nice blurred colors for the background. All you need to make it really special is for the bug to wave Hello! Croc

Very nice image that draws the eyes on the bug. Love the brilliant yellow petals against the muted b/g. Good job girl! ^__* Anne-Marie

Bingo! What a pleasant surprise to open this and see the bug. It becomes the subject. Love the stark contrast of color against the diminished sea of green. You have a great eye for how to present flora. Good going Ariel. - Scooter -

Ariel, this is a lovey picture, bug and all. I took a picture of one of these flowers a couple of years ago in Fiji. It is a beautiful flower and you have done a beautiful job. Great focus and dof, even the fly is in great focus. I Think the fly adds to the picture by giving it a story. :)Fred

Ariel, this is beautiful. The focus, detail and color are right on. That flying ant adds to the shot. The bg is faded nicely and you've got it center. Great job. Thank you for sharing. Dianne

This is really pretty. I like the yellow of the flower and the bee on it. I have problems getting a close ups of flowers. I think you did a good job!
