Just my opinion... Looks like the lighting didn't work out to the best. Bees are hard for contrast (can go from black to saturated in many places) and can force you to wind up over-exposing the rest of the image to get detail in the dark areas (legs, face etc.). Composition is great though, terrific background bokeh and I like the angle of the flower. Also like the three of four pedals sticking up compared to the rest right at the 1/3 in from right point (and one third down from top to boot). Good eye. DOF is just about right also. Angle (tilt?) of the camera took away perhaps too much of the yellow center, but then again the yellow of the bee balances that a bit.

Thanks for critics,I appreciate it a lot. You're right,that was the angle of the camera...
