This is a great close up with excellent sharpness and detail. Beautiful color and nice catch lights in the eyes. Very nicely done!

A fine, tight look at this bumble bee, Shirley. Being able to see the facets in it's eye in the larger view speaks to how much detail you've captured. The setting, with the red flowers around it looks good also.
