| Thanks for the critique club comment (and thanks for all the others too). This was a serendipitous shot that fitted in for the challenge, which allows me to get all this priceless feedback. I appreciate it - the learning curve starts here. |

This is a comment from the Critique Club;
First of all, let me tell you what I like - Like the colours of this shot. Fits in nicely with the Challenge. I also love the idea of the bee on the flower - Nice detail.
Stuff that needs work - Your image seems a bit soft - could do with some Sharpening - Especially on the yellow flowers and the bee.
Try using a bit more DOF. Your background is a tad distracting. OR you could make the background a solid colour by placing a background there. Black would've worked nice here.
The yellow on the flowers are a bit blown out. When taking a photo - rather underexposed than overexposed. Underexposed photos can still be worked on, but when the are blown out - nothing much you can do.
You can always try to change the angle of the shot as well - maybe get the bee on the purple flower in focys and use DOF to get the yellow flowers in the background. This will draw the viewers attention to the bee.
Lastly let me say this - although this is a good effort, you must always remember that there are thousands of flower shots out there. People will compare your flower shots to others (maybe they just paged through a gardening magazine etc) and this will influence your rating. You need to do something above the ordinary for your flower shot to stand out. Voters at DPC like to see Clear, Sharp, colourful images.
Good luck with other entries. |

| Nice capture of the bumble bee here. A tad overexposed, however, and a bit too busy. The composition is perfect. Good luck in the challenge. |

| A shallower DOF would improve this image. |

| Nice idea. You will probably get a lot of feedback about the sharpness of the bee. DPC loves tack sharp photos, which of course are difficult to produce. |

| 3 - Nice colors. Like to have seen more detail in flowers especially, but also the bee. Less green, so crop/angle variation as well, in my opinion. |

| What a busy bee! Good capture with good use of the thirds. Some petal detail is a bit blown, but overall a nice one. |
