Flying...

Here is another shot of a bumble bee that was hovering over some flowers. How is the crop and/or colors? Any other critique is certainly welcome as well. Thanks!

Having just tried a similar shot, and found it nerve wracking to try to track the movements of the bee whilst not angering him by my presence, I can say I am impressed! The distinct contrast with the light background works very well, to me, as does the use of the negative space to give the bee ample flying room. I like it!

Love the shot, love it. I am slightly distracted by the brown-ish component on the right. Competes with the bee.

I agree, the shot is amazing but the brown-ish component is distracting.
