really like the subject, texture and color....my one criticism would be tha the image would benefit from a greater depth of field. I would like to "see it all" and I can't do that.

Great contrast. A little overprocessed.

The challenge description read: "Partnerships and teamwork are everywhere about us in nature and in human affairs; capture an image that shows a mutually beneficial relationship."

This image fits the description perfectly. I'm quite disappointed by its score. Most of the higher rated pictures basically just show two individuals - with no apparent mutually beneficial relationship. This picture captures the crucial moment in a truly mutually beneficial relationship beautifully. Technically it's also great, with perfect focus on the bee. Why would anyone give this a low rating or even a 1? I don't understand. Maybe people are not aware of the relationship between bees and flowers...

This is quite the shot! The timing is so precise, I'm impressed you were able to keep a focus that shapr of such a fast and mobile subject.

Comment by nabusl:
there is too much of this picture that is out of foucus which makes the background really distracting and it overcomes your subject which is too small.
