don't care for the pink border. I think a light from the left would have helped too.

I like the selective desaturation. I'm sure others will knock you for it.

excellent, sharp capture. Framed very well. Of what I've seen so far, this should ribbon.

a shallower DOF would have helped separate the subject from the background, IMO.

a tad too shallow. I think I would have liked the rest of the bird in focus. Nice sharp focus on the top though. very nice.

Hi Cybele -

Great work on only your second entry at DPC. As stated below the colors and lines are great. It met the challenge very well.

There is nothing that I can see to technically improve the shot. I personally would have liked a closer shot of the bee, but then you wouldn't get the effect of "proportion" for the challenge, so you did right. The only other thing would be a crisper shot. I see a bit of noise and the photo is a bit soft overall.

Overall, I think it is a great photo that you should be proud of. I look forward to seeing your future work.

Regards,
Chris

good macro, and framed nicely. A little soft on the thorax, but not bad
