What a great shot. Love the light and the angle. The bee is frosting on the cake.

"To bee or not to bee.." :P I think the bee and bud adds the sting to this image. Doesn't hurt that the third "b" - the blossom - is perfectly processed either, of course.

Thanks, Ann & Najinsky! I know what you mean, Najinsky, about the stem but I kind of like the way it points to the bee and gives a little depth to the shot. ~Sharon

Wonderful capture, really like this. 1 in million shot. I do find the left foreground stem a little distracting and would be tempted to move it somewhere else; into the right background maybe. -Najinsky

This is absolutely fabulous Sharon! And you caught it at a perfect moment with that bee coming in for a landing like a little helicopter. --Melanie (mlynn)

Thanks, Olaf, aam and Mary Anne! Aam, I don't think the bee is a spoiler in this as it was caught in flight just where it is. Only normal Photoshopping was done to this. ~Sharon

Beautiful color and lighting here, Sharon. The black background works well.

Wow. Was the bee there or was added in PS. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, it might ruin the photo for some. And the flower is beautiful too [aam1234]

Love the flying insect (bee?) in this!
