Sunset and a bee!

Two I like...:)

Dear MariaG,
The flower and bee are very nice. I like the brilliant, saturated colors and the detail in the bee's wings is outstanding. The lighting seems to be very good and your exposure is right on. The Color Balance also look correct.

If you were to crop approximately 12 - 15% off at the left, it would give the bee a position more off-center, thus giving a somewhat more classical composition.

It is also commendable that the background is clean and not distracting.

All told, this is an excellent image that anyone should be proud to hang on their wall.
Congratulations!

The sunrise does not impress me, because the colors are too muted. The best thing you could do to improve the composition is to crop the upper 20% off, thus giving your horizon an off-center position. I don't know whether to suggest a later time, earlier time, different clouds, or what to improve the interest level.
