Comment by rcrawford:
More light and a smaller aperture would give you more DOF and get more of the bee in focus.

not quite a good enough focus for me, but those bugs have a tendency of moving too quick to really get an good focus-just a 5 from me

Comment by mstone:
the second "untitled" photo in this challenge so far. Thats irritating. Why not come up with a title? A title is meant to convey something about the image from the photographer, to the viewer. What are you going for here?
It's an interesting shot, I just wish you had a title. Needs a bit of contrast, levels/curves adjustment. Not sure if I have ever seen a little ducky with no eyes. lol where did you find that?

I don't have any experience with portraits such as this, my two cents would be perhaps a slight bump in contrast? Looks a bit flat. Also as awpollard points out in the forum thread - the second catch light on the eye is distracting.

Looks great, exposure good, nice contrast. Bit tight on crop...and you should try to smile. ;-p
