This is a very nice image. The bokeh is great, the bee is nice and focused. He even has a catchlight in his little eye, LOL! The flower itself seems to be off just a little bit. I can't really figure out in which way. Maybe a little oversharpened? Overall, a solid image.

Nice close-up and focus. Awsome insect, colorful flowers. Bokeh is excellent too. This is the background I would like to have seen in your "Swinging" blurred motion offering.

The light is pretty bright here and that may account for what might otherwise be some over sharpening. I am not sure what the cause may be, but some of the flowers seem over done.

I didn't vote on this image but would have given it a 5 or 6.

Excellent bokeh and a pretty good closeup of the bee. What I like is how the size of the bee emphasizes the petite nature and delicateness of the flower's blossoms. I gave this a 6 in voting. I suspect this was shot in full sunshine, which makes it tough to get good contrast across the spectrum, though the color of the flower itself is very good.

Great photo. Colors are really nice. Great job!

The light is a bit harsh and the contrast a little too high. It makes the blacks not have any detail.

Great macro, but no contrast and the highlights are blown out.

great capture-the bee almost looks human in a costume.

Very nice focus and background color.
