Bees are very challenging (having struggled with them myself this summer). It would have been a 10 if the bee were in focus, but he is too soft for my liking. Nice positioning though.

some areas are not sharp

This is nice but could be focused better. Good luck in the challenge. Grayce :-)

Yup...another bug photo out of focus. Nice colors, though, so you get extra points for that.

good shot if focus was sharper

Woah - the bee's wings look purple. Is that a result of altering the Hue/Saturation? I love the colors on the bee and flower, too bad the wings got altered as well. great shot though. shedonist 8

I hate bees with a passion, but what a cool photo. :-) His wings match the flower! 7 kathleenm

nice catch, but needed to be a little sharper on the focus.

You picked up really nice colors on the bumble bee and I like the light streaming up from the bottom. Just a wee outta focus, unfortunately that distracts from the picture.

If you are from the Atlanta, Georgia area that is not a bee!! That is a YELLOW JACKET which BULLDOGS love to eat. If it had been a BULLDOG it would have been a 10 even if it was fuzzy. But since it's a yellow jacket with a fuzzy head it is only an 8. Forgetting the school riveraly it really is a good picture but still and 8. PTL

only if the bee wasnt so blurry, this picture would of rock,
11/12/2002 02:07:00 PM
Nice Shot.

That is one furry bee. They're tough to focus, aren't they? Nice bright colours. Must have played with the saturation quite a bit to get this effect. Good show. Jacko 7

Wow! this is beautiful. 10 Sonifo

Not really sharp enough - a tough subject to capture.

i love bug shots! (i bet you are not hearing this very often here ;)
challenge -- met
technical -- the focus seems to be a little stronger on the flower than on the bee. a difficult thing to get right with the shallow DOF that digital cameras have in macro mode. i like the plain but not totally uniform background. overall colors are great, the purple tinge of the wings is nicely complemented by the flower.
composition -- great. outside of this challenge, i would clone out those green bits at the bottom of the flower.
good shot

Faster shutter needed in my oppinion. Other wise great shot. Good color. Too bad no depth.
11/11/2002 01:46:00 AM
Beautiful colours (especially the wings the same colour as the flower). I'm wondering if you've blurred it a little, or if it was just a touch out of focus...
11/11/2002 01:13:00 AM
Looks like your camera focused on the closer flower bud (see bud at lower right) leaving the bee out of focus. Love the colors. 7
