Excellent! The bee is tack-sharp, and the flower is sharp, graded to less sharp.
Love the wing colour and the BG.
My only tiny suggestion would be to move the bee off-center a bit - both horizontally and vertically.
Terrific image!

Very nice, Ry. The bee is nicely sharp, the white flower makes a great perch/background and you managed to get a bit of iridescence in the wings. The whites are just a tiny bit hot, but that can be dialed back in RAW or left as is as part of a high key look.

Hi Ry,
Your bumblebee photo looks pretty good. The large version reveals some nice sharpness in the eye and head region. The BG has some speckling which in part is a normal feature for an Iso of 1250. I would drop down the highlights a bit in the white flower buds as advocated by Mark. You may want to try some selected crops as Sandy has suggested too. Although your current version is a strong presentation as is. Well done........................Jim
