Another bee, to add to Yun's series of excellent posts. The background yellow is a Black-eyed Susan.

Very nicely constructed composition. Just love the orange in the background to spice up the color palette. Colors look very natural and not overdone. Thank god for bees!!!

Oh, so lovely-nice composition, and the yellow in the background is really special-it pulls the whole thing together. Photography is such a nice way to "bee" together.

Thanks, Tom! Lovely bee in the air around vervain. I like the yellow color in the background. It creats a warm feel. Nice in flight capture and beautiful setting.

Yes, the orange in the background really complement the purple flowers and the green leaves. Very nice image, Tom!

Beautifully done, Tom! So much to enjoy with this one, the composition, content, selective focus, and the beautiful colour palette.
