Beautiful photo, though I do think the composition works better in portrait cropping out the left and right empty areas. Good detail, quite like the muted colours. Kavey
That is one mean looking son of a gun! Focus is strange cause parts are focused and others are not. Maybe more light, or make the bee really mad and then you want have to worry about it. 7-karmat
Nice job of focus. Color is good and lighting too. The only nit I have is that it seems to be a bit TOO centered. Might have done better if the shot was turned at an angle. DPz
