Sunflower Field

A local wildlife area plants a couple of large fields of sunflowers.  I go hoping to find birds feeding on the seeds, but no luck.  Just bumblebees.

Canon 7d Mark II
24-105 at 88 mm
1/250 f7.1
ISO 100

Thanks for looking.  Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Allen: Delightful image! My only ambivalence is the bee. I wish it was more obviously a bee or not be there at all. Oh well, one can't always control the party crashers! Nicely done.>=))>

I definitely like the sunflowers. The bee, meh?

very nice shot Allen. I love the complete warmth it expresses. Since the BG is so similar to the subject I might try adding a slight vignette. Not sure it would be an improvement but something to consider if so inclined. I agree with Bill's comment about the bee. Well done.
