gee, the tip of that plane hit the mark of the bee right away for me! I thought this was definitely a luck shot - good for you!

Don't know how you did this, but the scene is well thought of. Only the bee and the paper plane are the main subjects here. The bee is hard to discover from the background which is taking up way too much attention. Focus should only be on the bee and (partially) on the paper plane. The background would better be blur in this case. But that would probably make it an impossible shot.

"tyoo! tyoo!" The bee shoots laser canons, destroying the invading craft!

Ok, how did you get that bee to cooperate?! Beautiful flowers & nice complimentary color for the plane. I wish the plane were in better focus.

Nice idea, but for this challenge I wish the focus was on the plane.

Nice idea .... but it took me a while to figure out that there was a bee in the picture....

The bee is actually quite hidden. I didn't see it at first. It's a pity the whole plane is out of focus.

nice shot

Pretty funny, but the bee needs to be brighter because I didn't get what the title meant at first. Plus, in considering composition, the bright yellows would match nicely. I realize this was probably (sorry if I'm wrong) just lucky timing, but the focus is misleading. I look at the plane, then the plants, then find the bee and the humor.

If the paper missile had been as clear as the bee.....

cool photo! must have been difficult to setup and focus.

the flowers in the background are to busy, I would have used something simpler.
the composition is also pretty bad, maybe cropped to much.

the airplane, which seems to be the main focus of the pic, is to big to have out of focus, it just doesn't flow well in this picture.

if you were to have had the whole plane and be in focus, left a little more room around the two subjects and used a different background this could have done very very well. I hope that helped?
