Good detail on the bee, beautiful background that enhances the scene. Nicely done.

Great aesthetic value Yun, I like this a lot.
All the out of focus pink meadow clary, with the sharp detailed bee is simply wonderful
Very nice

Beauty, Yun. Excellent combination of subject and bg. The bee is very sharp and the setting, with the soft pink wash, is beautiful.

This is wonderfully warm and gentle, Yun, with great sharpness on the bee and it's bloom. As a very minor nit, I could see having just a bit more space between the bee and the frame. If you're using Photoshop this looks like a prime candidate for adding maybe 200 pixels on the right and using content aware fill.

Thanks everyone for the comments!
Following Mark's suggestion I include a new version with extra canvas added to the right. Thanks Mark.
