I think I'm more inpressed with the detail in the stem and on the petals than the bee. I know that sounds harsh but it really is not intended that way. I'm just stunned at the detail of those things sticking out of and hanging off of the flower. As for the bee there is tons of detail on my monitor. I love the pollen sticking to his body and how you can almost count how much is there.

This is a very beautiful shot. The soft light and bright yellow help to enhance the contrast with the red and green. DOF is perfect for me on this as well, you are drawn only to those buds in front that show their beauty more clearly.

Great detail on both the feather and the drop of water. i'm very inpressed with how much detail is reflected from the umbrella.

Hey Pat, good to hear from you. I like the idea you have going on here, my only critique would be to either come in closer or to crop a little tighter and watch the highlights. I think more detail in the wings and letting the flowers go darker would have really added some pop. Overall though I really like it.

Very sharp with great detail right on the head and shoulders? What I mean are the hairs. the blur of his legs I'm assuming are because he is running to get away from you, I like the effect it creates. It makes it real and not static in any way.

You have some great detail in the seeds and the flesh near the bottom. I'm really bothered by the blown out white part of the stem. you might try coming in closer to the seeds and filling the frame with the seeds.

I agree with matt on this one, also don't be afraid to shoot vertically.

Great timing with this one to catch the look on the girls face. The tounge sticking out is pricless.

Pete, this is a very powerful shot. Although you don't like the shot, the swastika adds that extra dimension.

This looks an awful lot like a Russian Hind helecopter. Nice bird.
