Congratulations on remodeling your home page with this beautiful photograph. I love the colors, I'm such a sucker for bright and bold. Do you realize that if you count ribbons and lacy decorations as flowers, your top five scorers all have flowers. Has somebody found an area of expertise? ;)

Oh...and next time get that bee sharp, or else(I was just reading your post, so I had to take the jab)!

Thanks for all the great comments and votes. 2nd PB after a long time of not being active on challenges (definitely need all the encouragement I can get) For those who found the bee soft, well it was busily buzzing around and the light was rather low.

excellent work. really marks the difference between exquisite and the standard boring flower shot.

This is just an explosion of color. I love the border on this image also. Actually, I think this would be a great shot without the bee.

Fantastic floral shot - but because the bee is slightly out of focus (though good job with the wings frozen in motion), I think the photo would stand on its own with just the flower, with its striking colours and composition.

The colours and the DOF in this is very good.
I like your border too.

Seems like the focal point is a little bit in front of the bee. Other than that, it is a wonderful capture.

Excellent clarity and composition. Enough contrast in the colors to be interesting but not overbearing.

Wow, what colours! Though I would prefer this without the bee - I don't think it's a great focal point compared to the flower and given that the flower attracts my focus, I don't need the bee really! Composition and shallow DOF great too - I love the contrast between reds and yellow of the foreground and blues and greens behind.

Nice colors and composition. The only thing I would like to see is a little more DOF so that the entire bee was in focus. Nice capture though.

spectacular image and composition and beautifully framed!

Bright colours really pop. A bit of grain in the photo and I wish the bee were in focus

Superb composition ... if only the wasp were crisply focused.

The focus of the Bee is a little soft, but the overall image is very good.

This is really vibrant! Had the bee been a bit sharper, this shot would be a real cracker! Good luck.
