Superb macro shot, Steve! I can see the insect's little claws as they grasp the petal of the flower. First time I've seen a bee's fingernails ;o)

another nice detail shot in these tricky high contrast conditions.

Looks like he's doing sit-ups ! Good glint to his eye.

I like the softer colors. The bee looks like it is licking its "fingers". Flowers are, afterall, finger licking good.

Steve, the insects in your garden must be really used to you wandering around with your camera. As you say, not your best shot (a bit soft and colours a bit muted; maybe also too yellow or green), but an interesting enough subject and composition.
