nice and smooth. Nice contrast in colours between the flower and the fly. I'm not voting in this challenge, but I'd give this a 6 or 7 I'd say. Good contrast. Very outdoor feel. Focus is on the flower and bee without either taking away from the other.

Only slight criticism is that there appears to be a lot of imperfections on the flower's petals. It'd be nice were this advanced editing to take them away. There's probably nothing you could do in basic. So it's a criticism that can't be helped with the rules... how useless! :)

The fly makes the shot! But loses a little of the flower concept

Very beautiful. I love the translucence of the petals.

Great picture but I thought light meant a lighter shade of white. Lovely picture though
