Well, that does look nice, flowers and sunshine... :)

So, I'm sure you probably already know this, but you've missed focus on this pretty badly, as the bee is out of focus, and the stamen and leaves behind it are sharp.

Holy wow! This is seriously out of focus.. You seem to have focused about six inches behind your intended subject..

Back up and crop the image some, it'll look much better!

Leftovers from the Nixter challenge, or the posthumous challenge?

I honestly don't care, it's a very cool image that does, for some odd ineffable reason, capture the spirit of the challenge for me..

Very cute!!

I think the crop here is a poor choice that really hurt a strong image.

Effectively it's cropped him at the knees, which is a bad thing, mid thigh would have been much stronger and more compelling I think.

Ohh wow! This is a super cool image, but your bokeh is pretty distracting here...

Hmm, I can't quite figure out the story here, or how the title connects..

Was this an anti-smoking skit? hmm... Well, in any case I'm not sure if this really works for me on this challenge, but I think I'll skip voting on it because I might just be missing some obvious connection and don't want to punish you for my failings... :)
