A beauty of a capture. 7 on first pass.

I like the photo, but I think you may have used a little too much NeatImage? Just a guess - but it distracts a bit, from an otherwise very interesting shot.

nice catch, but seems to me way too overprocessed

Nice macro shot - but I'm not crazy about your post processing. Looks like too much neat image or whatever noise reomoval you use.

Looks like your original capture was very good, but the postprocessing has just about ruined it. Don't know if it's compression artifacts or some combo of sharpening and noise removal, but whatever it is it left massive artifacts all over the flower and bee.

Nice photo, seems that you have some fringing around the white flower that kind of distracts from the beauty of this photo.

The composition in this is nice, as well as the limited DOF. The entire image lacks the detail that you would expect from a macro shot. It almost looks as if it was neat imaged quite a bit.

Nice macro, but it looks like all of your detail has been eaten up by your noise reduction software.

that's actually a fly...it only has 2 wings. Still a very nice macro though.
