What kind of bee is this? Nice macro shot and good job cropping. Details are a little blurry on the bee itself. Maybe the camera's AF was focusing on the flower to its immediate left or maybe it's just compression playing tricks with my eyes.

It's a good picture but what makes it extraordinary? I've seen hundreds of bees.

It is hard to get a good picture of a bee. I have been trying for a couple of days. This one is good.

Looks like a plain 'ol bee to me. Too dark as well.

Nice composition for the bee. Blends in a bit with the flower colors. Not you can do about where the bee lands. :)

tighter crop to get rid of most of the blurry DOF would have had a bigger impact on my vote. it is an extroardinary shot but not a shot of extroardinary which is what the challenge is about. I still give it a <4> even tho I don't believe it fits the challenge
