The background may be overexposed but it doesnt make the image any stronger. The bird looks great and is exposed perfectly. I wish the back wasnt. But then I probably would have voted it lower for really not fitting the challenge, but it would have been a stronger picture all around - challenge not considered.

This has enough purple in it. Challenge theme aside...
Brilliant capture of bees at work. Needs just a slight boost in contrast and print out and be proud of. You should be :)
The point of focus and control of DOF, this shows great skill. I've seen tons of insect shots and macros a like. This has something special about it. Goes beyond the technicals, which this has a lot good of and steps into the art realm.

I don't think it needed so much blur in the back there but it's a good shot.

Nice composition and focus and the purple stands out well but this has been done umpteen times before.

I like the composition. You should have cloned out the sensor dust at the top of the image.
