I think this is a neat shot. At first I didn’t like the centered composition but now that I look at it more I like the shape and design of this picture a lot. It reminds me of something I would see in an art museum.
Tough shot to carry off. If the subject is made smaller, it becomes unrecognizeable. As is, however, I think it's too large a piece of the picture. Maybe composing the shot with the bees far to one end of a more stretched-out image?
interesting find, but low contrast and centered composition make this shot rather boring to look at. and I don't think it meets the challenge either - the hive is too big
The blob of bugs is too centered. A bit of cropping on either right or left would have helped this out. Also there is this yellow spot where the paint is missing that is distracting.
What a magnificent close up this would have been, I hope you did that too. As it is, it is kind of mundane due to the lack of detail in the swarm. Sorry.
This could be a very interesting subject. I don't think the centered composition was necessary the best bet for this shot, though. Perhaps getting quite a bit closer so we can see some of the details of the bees, and placing them in say the lower left corner with the majority of the frame being filled with the cinder block wall might have worked better. Of course, then you'd have had to risk getting stung!
