This is My Flower

The Bumble Bee seems to be trying to get the other insect off of his/her flower. I like the detail in the bee and the pov here. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

Interesting threesome Richard, I like the head-on POV of the subject here..
Good comp with all the insects nicely in focus.
I might consider removing the stuff BRC at edge of frame.
Well done

I love the perspective in this image, the exceptional subject detail (both the flower and the insects), and the exceptionally nice BG. Well captured and processed, Richard.
