- I prefer more close up flower
- More contrast
- Avoid bright sunlight
- use a CPL

I like 3 and 4. 1 and 2 could be cropped tighter.

Your focus and details are super sharp.I like them.

I really like #2. All look sharp though, I think you did a good job!

I like #4 in terms of contrast, graphic design, and interest. I like #5 best but IMO the original crop is detracting slightly on the right side from the bee which is gloriously captured and presented. Here is a crop to consider and apologies for cropping out your logo I will delete this image if you ask me to.

IMO this is one of the nicest images I have seen in a long time. The color combination is engaging and the subject and framing is superb. It's a keeper and I would buy a print.

I think you did a really good job. Nice color and framing. The bee shot is most excellent.

Thanks for the kind words guys!!
Jetcode I do see what you mean about the crop (I hadn't cropped any of them), and I really like how you have cropped it! :)
