It is lovely. Is that a Thai bee? I never saw one like that in Asia

The bee in the photograph is a bumble bee taken in my backyard in Vancouver. Of the roughly 800 bee species in Canada, next to the honey bee, the bumble bee is the best known. Bumble bees are large

(13–25 mm in length), hairy bees that are usually black and yellow with clear wings with black veins.

nice...... BUT remember the background is as important as the subject. if you had changed the angle to make the background the darker area on the top right of the frame it would have improved the impact or crop out as below but sharpness has been compromised

I agree the background in the original is untidy and distracting, cropping has improved the image but at a cost to sharpness......the lesson being, always concider the background, and crop in camera as much as you can before taking the shot.
