What could I have done better, any critics?

I meant any critiques? Advice, I only had a 18-135 on this trip, but was able to get this shot fully open at 135, and as close as I could get where the lense would still focus. Any filters anyone would suggest?

Nice colors i think you focused on the petal i would have focused the Bee, loved the background blur !

Very nice. But I would consider cropping the right side to get rid of the distracting orange blur. It will also put your subject off-center, which often results in a more pleasing composition.

Good shot. I would darken the background, especially the other red flowers. That would draw the eye to the subject of the capture. Also, you need to crop it a bit so the flower/bee is not in the center. This has a lot of potential. Nice capture!
