I'm always jealous when someone knows the real names of these things. Very nice shot with excellent details

Good use of DOF. The colors seem a little bland and could be enhanced a bit.

nice image, the color correlation between the bee "fur" and the flower stems is nice

Great shot. The surounding flower though. . . in this case. . . is somewhat busy and distracting.

Nice and close. Looks sharp too, but the subject is a little dark to make out real detail on it - have you thought of using a fill flash?
