The softness in the pink flowers, both in foreground and background gives the photo a nice feeling of spring. That can remind the viewer on how early the bumblebees are. At first large bumblebee queens needs to start early all alone. After a while she get good help from her children, and the smaller bumblebees can be seen flying around :) The photo has a good balance and I can almost smell both spring and summer in the photo! :D
An amazing focus on all of the bumblebee! Technical a really good work! Still, my eyes keeps resting on her wing, instead of her face. It is an amazing wing, but it is not where I want to focus. It feels like the bumblebee is not alive. The grey background might add to that feeling. I really like the sharpness on the right antenna, but the tiny hair distracts me. Maybe because the rest of the photo is so clean. Still, all in all, small details in an amazing artwork of a photo! Great work! :D
I love the strong warm colours! A real beauty! The photo has a good focus and sharpness on important parts.The bumblebee looks real eager in the collection of nectar! :D Personally I get a bit distracted by the unfocused part down in the left and right corners, and I would have tested how the photo looks when cropping away some of that bottom part of the photo. Another way could be to test with some lense correction adjustment in a editor program.
I love the calmness in this photo! The lines are beautiful and the cornes feel perfectly adjusted to those lines. A really good balance of subject and background. The colours feels nice and balanced as well, making the photo a good place to rest the eyes! Good and sharp focus, guides the attention to the eye and the connection the bumbelbee has to the wood while resting.

In this photo my eyes focus on the wings are perfectly right. The light and dreamy look of the flower is well balanced with the bumblebee. And the sharpness of the wings contrast it in a really good way! The darkness in the upper left corner is, for me, a bit too dark for the lightness, and makes me wonder how the photo would look when cropping this part away.
A nice and yellow photo! :D Good sharpness and a nice and thight framing. I can't decide if I get distracted or not by the small yellow petal :P It makes me notice the small beetle hiding in the flower. It makes me smile that a distraction from the main subject, can make a story of all the insects that enjoy the sweet flowers :) A great photo! :)
