Sonny, you're not kidding about yellow being tricky; I think I was just lucky with the sun's location. Not sure about the insects but our nearest guess is Rove Beetles. They're only about 1 to 1.5 mm long. - Mike

You did a good job capturing the tricky color yellow of this flower. I also find harmony among the colors of the subject and the backround. The diagonal lines framed the flower nicely. Are those termites on the flower?

Well, it actually does look sort of like a sunset with a flower floating in front of it. Nice shot. Helen
