Hi Hendrik, another one on the theme!
But what is the name of the flowers ? I don't have never seen one of these! Without a little explanation help from you, i can't find no information!
As in the precedent, very nice & sharp frontside, good macro work!
ciao, Giorgio

This is a lovely photo, Hendrik.
The colours are fabulous! The orange and red background really enhances the blues and greens in the foreground. It's a pity the bee is so dark but the colour on his wings is great. And a great composition too!

Nice DOF. Well taken. Beautiful flowers and the background blurred orange adds to the contrast. Well taken.
Thanks

Belle photo encore une fois, trčs nette, utilisation parfaite de la profondeur de champs, mélange de couleurs agréable.

This one has truly amazing colours, almost the whole spectrum. And they look so well together. The colours look unrealistic on the first sight - when I saw the thumbnail I thought it is overprocessed in photoshop, say, inverted or what ;)

The bee is also a good solution: it makes the photo less abstract, brings some story about and adds another focal center.

May be an extra work could be done to improve the composition - to arrange the flower balls around the frame in a more balanced way. I mean that now there are much more details in the top of the picture than at the bottom - it skews the balance.
