Can't think of anything to critique here. Its a really good shot, nice colour, very sharp and composition is spot on. If this were my shot I wouldn't change a thing

Default Wow!
Excellent shot. If that was a handheld shot, good for you. Steady hands.

Gorgeous shot! I love everything about it--the lighting, the crispness, and the subject. The pollen seems to sparkle on the bee's back and legs, as well as on the flower.

The ONLY thing I find a bit off in this is the bottom right-hand corner. It's awkwardly in focus while surrounding areas aren't. A quick blur of this in Photoshop would make it perfect

Beautiful! I have to agree with everyone about not changing a thing. Love the clarity of the fuzz on the back of the buzz.
