Lilies through hires camera

I have the opportunity to take some lilies through my high resolution 39M pixels camera.
They are reduced in size for easy viewing. Actual jpg file is about 24Mbytes. Raw format is 50+ MBytes. So, what can you see...
I cropped the picture above to show just the bee. Unfortunately the bee was fast moving and it appears to be slightly blur. Click on the photo to show the actual size.
A cluster of lilies ... This lot was in the middle of the pond. I crop out the center flower to show actual pixel size...
Click to show the actual size. I cropped the flower to 800 pixel.
