Lovely!
Great colour combination, with the orange of the monarch, the yellow daisies, and the blue BG.
Just noticed the bee, too..
Don't know if this is full frame, but - if cropped - a smaller crop so the daisies were whole might work even better. Feels just a bit tight to me, even without cutting the flower edges off.
A really nice image just as is, though.

This resonates well with me, John, as I've been shooting Monarchs and sunflowers all month :). The bee is an added bonus. I like the wider view you took with this, bringing in more flowers. The flowers might be a little bright, but I know how hard it is to balance the sunflowers and monarch.
