2013 bee in flight

A bit underrated, IMO. I know I'm always thrilled to get a recognizable shot of a bug in flight! Accidentally or otherwise LOL. The little shadow here really makes the shot for me, and I like the implied diagonal to the composition. Maybe you could have hand-sharpened the bee a tad to improve the score, but I think this deserved a higher score than it got, if only for the difficulty factor.

Really nice job on the DOF. The casual, comfortable pose in the grass and the sort of rough look to her hair really complements the mood of the image.

Birds get into the most interesting poses, don't they? I particularly like the tail and the feet on this one for some reason.

Not too happy about modeling, I don't think.

Looks like an amazing phenomenon to see in person. There's something almost ALIVE about that lava flow. Thanks for sharing it.
