What a great composition. Good idea to let it sit on a half-dollar to give you the perspective of how tiny your subject is. Great deatil for a macro shot.

Oh wow! You did fantastic! I expect to see this one in the wnner's circle! In addition to the bee being so perfectly sharp and crisp, your background, and your colors are interesting and nothing short of awesome. I almost don't want to go to the next photo, but would rather just sit and look at this one for a while longer. I'd give this a 20 if there was such a thing. 10 (of course)

This is right up there with about as good a macro shot as you can get. The colors on the bug and every little detail are just amazing.
