A little too much added noise, in my opinion.

Sorry I haven't commented yet-long workyday.....

Here are the things I like about this:

The focus is great-sharp on the bee and beautifully blurred on the background, the bees on the inside are in focus enough, it takes a few seconds to noice them but when you do it's a nice surprise....I love the composotion of the cornered flower..

Now a bit nit-picky, but the shape of the flower is not so pleasing! WHY? well i feel that the curling in look of it makes me feel that it is not that fresh, even tho the bees and the colours of the leave certainly say different....

I also feel that the challenge meaning is a bit too implied by the title, it does of course include transition but I am not sure that it is obvious enough?

I think it is a great picture and very well taken and original in the fact that you don't often see so many bees in one flower....that's so cool.

Just a few ideas....see what the others think:)

This is a cool shot. I love the processing choices you made here. I the relm of candids I prefer to see some sort of expression which isn't present here. Nice shot otherwise.

Very much like this - the mystery of the part of the face and the grain work for me. Very nicely composed.

I'm not liking the grain although I do like the photo. I am wondering why you added the grain.....my first thought is that you added it to cover up flaws and poor technicals in the photo. But that is my cynical side showing. Maybe you like the grain and feel it adds to the grittiness of a street shot, I don't know. But normally I don't like grain and this is no exception. It has to be really well done for me to like it. I would love to see this as a clear image, I know I would score that higher. So I will give this a 5.

I love the fact we only see the face in the reflection and that the B&W and grain just adds another layer of mystery and disassociation

Very good image

Dang, Roz! This is excellent!! Love the natural frame created by the door, the composition, the furrowed brow, the writing on the glass door, the processing... ummm...pretty much everything really!! I'm thinking this would also work very well in B&W. : )
