A new species for me although not uncommon. I don't know the green guy.

Nicely captured! great exposure on the yellows and the darker BG really makes the image "pop"! The green visitor is a nice complement as well, maybe someone will help indentify it!

Great shot. Super sharpness in the flower.

In addition to what the others said, I like how you've managed the exposure so that it holds the details in the yellow petals. Another nice one!

Hi

A fine composition and great to have both flower and little hopper within the DOF – like the others I find this an attractive shot

All the best
Matthew
