NICE macro - the freezing of an instant, the tight focus on the foreground - keeps the background from taking over at all or being busy, and the detail here of both flower and bee is gorgeous.

Very nice... I'm not sure I would have put this as National Geographic... but maybe. I think it would have been nice to have the bee just slightly more in focus. Very well done though... could definitely be a magazine cover, if not NG then maybe something else. very pretty, hope you didn't get stung!

This is a wonderful shot. I feel the yellow border is unnecessary. I really like the visible pollen on the bee and the contrast of colors.

Good frame, colorful shot. Focus is a wee bit soft.

Very nice image, has a nice relaxing feeling to it, the lazy days of summer. I'm not sure what your main focus was on but most everything seems to be in realatively good focus. I can even make out the buttercups at the bottom of the photo.

You may have wanted to try to add more blue to the sky for feeling cause as it is now, its cloudy but there are traces of depth in the clouds just seems to need a tinge more blue to it.

It is a very nice image all you need are some animals or a child in close view to add more interest to the composition. It does meet the challenge cause it makes you think of living in the country, nice interuptation on the challenge.

Good job using the trees for framing the picture. Not much going on in the background but it does give off a nice calm mood.

I really like the layout of the image and how you used the trees as a border for the image. I also like the contrast in the sky and the value in the fields. Good job.
