Nice capture, good processing, like the border added as well as it compliments the photo. Crop is spot on

As I am allergic to bees, I have a hatred of them........fortunately I am only commenting, and not voting on the images.

Very shallow DOF on this, which has worked well, however it would have been so much beter if the bee was flying towards you

Stunning. What I wanted to see in this challenge. An anlimal captured in full motion, and captured well. Good DOF of this, excellent picture, nothing more to add...........

Very interesting and clever composition. Great DOF on this. I like how the yellow stripe on the bug matches the line on the road

There is something about this photo that haes just made my eyes go weird. I think it is the out of focus trees that is just at the range that my eyes are trying to focus it. Very disturbing. Hard to comment the photo when I have to do it in 2 sec looks.

Nice idea and composition. But the focus makes it hard for me to look at it.........Just commenting, not voting anyway

Honk!

Nice photo, a shame that it woasn't captured slightly later against the cloudy sky instead of being in front of that large tree

Flight

Love the capture of this. However I feel the bird is a little constrained by the crop. Some additional space around it would have helped balance the shot, and given it somewhere to 'fly' to

White-Winged Dove

Great capture. You have managed to stop the bird dead and sharp. I would have cropped close on this. I normally love the negative space(and use it), but with the different colours in your bqackground, it becomes a distraction. The DOF is good to try and eliminate them, but the large brown fence across the image doesn't help it

Sparrow

The branch in the photo is a distraction. I like your shutter speed, getting the head sharp but the wings slightly blurred, however being slightly in front of the bird would have helped, as then the large blur of the wings would no longer be the focal point

So, you think you can dance....

Goo depth of field on this to remove all elements from the background. I however are not a fan of the crop at the top, where you have cut the risers head off.......

With this subject, having the horse in full motion, the tail streaming behind and the Riders Red hair also streaming behind would have been a great look.
