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.

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

Yup...another bug photo that's out of focus

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

What text book did you get this out of, or going to put it in. That's how good it is. Love how clearly his coloring comes through. His nest is great. Drab background, but guess that was hard to pick out. Great 9 for your efforts. PTL

looks like it's lacking some contrast and color. Nice close up though.

Great close up shot. Perhaps brightening it a bit in post-processing would bring out the colors even more and lighten up the background.

Great shot.
I think it could be better when you capture the subject about 40 degrees to the right.
