The bee's eye is really neat looking and the coordinated colors are nice. I sure wish you'd posted a larger version so I could see better.

These are a bit more difficult than honey bees, generally quite a bit smaller.
I too like the harmony of color, detail and exposure looks great.
Overall a very appealing image, with the cactus flower & bee sharing the frame nicely

Well made and balanced. A larger image would give a look at the detail.

Nice colors in this and good detail too, though a larger version would be nice to look at!

Nice light and colors, and the comp looks excellent. I like seeing the surrounding like this, but it sometimes sort of obscures the details of the insect. In this case, you present enough of the details -- especially that wonderful eye -- to make this BOTH a good bug shot as well as a nice flower picture.
