While your photo certainly won't hang in any galleries (due to the subject), it certainly reminds us why God created scavengers including flies and vultures. They clean up the detritus of the world. So...I guess we should thank God for flies, vultures and dung beetles!!

Technically this is well done. Focus and exposure good. But I would like to see the subjects more prominent in the frame. You don't really need all that space to the right.

Thanks for the comments.

It might fit in my gallery of "photos to frighten my wife" but that is the only one I can think of.

Space in photos is always an interesting topic. I like the subject to "have space to breath" and would have liked to have a bit more space at the bottom of the shot but there was an almost perfectly round red disk like stone there which would have ruined the balance of the shot and I was too scared to try to move it because of the wasps! Being stung is not my idea of pleasure.

Interesting choice of subject, your focus on the bees is so good, I think I would have cropped it until it was mostly pear and wildlife, including of course the debris they scattered.

I think if you were to print this quite large and hang it in your home as a conversation piece, all the space around it would work quite well. You would need to tone down the light on the rocks a tiny bit so as to highlight your subject.
