Full bloom and full buzz. The added element is a nice touch.

What immediately grabs my attention with this thumbnail image is the transparent look of the petals from the lighting. Then after opening up the larger version the bee suddenly becomes the focus of attention. Great capture and sharp focus of the bee in flight! Not easy to do. . . I'm still trying. :rolleyes: I like the way you composed this shot with the flower totally filling the frame and seeming to reach towards the sun. This full-bloom flower (plus added visitor) works great for the challenge, Andrey. :smile:
