Comment by MrAkamai:
Very strong visual impact with DOF although I think it would have looked better if the bee was on one of the nearer tines to be in full focus. The wings and legs beg to show off details and especially the body with all the fur. 7

Needs more depth of field to keep everything in focus.

I'm having a difficult time finding the focus in this picture. If you could open up the DOF just a little more would be better, right now I see a portion of the back and a piece of the leg that is in focus.

The depth of field is a little shallow to do this one justice. But a fortunate capture, for sure!

This almost looks like a kid behind its parent. Really nice idea, B&W works really well with it.

Good luck...

No doubt joining the unseen bandwagon, but you should have done this for the proportion challenge... It's kind of cute. did you try the same set up indoors? I only ask because the whiteness on the near shaker is a little too intense - indoors you could control the lighting a bit and with darker lighting, might have picked up a granular appearance of the salt. you have done a good job of hiding from the reflective chrome surfaces though - i quite impressed by that. 7.
