This is a nice group of flowers. The lighting is strong but, in this case, separates the flowers from the bg. The bee adds interest and a focal point to the image

I like the high contrast lighting here, Basri - the climbing bee and the petal textures have both come out very well. Wonder if you might crop a touch from the sides without losing anything ? Lovely image anyway.

Very nice. I like the position of the blossoms in relation to each other. A crop from the right would remove some unneccesary (IMO) negative space. Beautiful colors and I love the bee 'bonus'.
