Very well done. Once again you demonstrate that you deserve your ranking. I love the way that you used the depth of field to bur the background (even though it occupies more than half the image). This gives the image that extra three-dimensional 'snap'.

Comment from drimitz
Excellent detail on the picture. This is such a close zoon that the bee looks five times larger then he actually is. Great job.

Comment from PhototronicKC
This is a very nice floral/nature macro shot. I like the way the bee takes the emphasis as the subject away from the flower. The colors work well to create a pleasing mood or atmosphere.

Comment from davideyoung
This is a great macro of this subject. I would crop it to just around the bee and the flower it is in. The blurred flower on the left is very distracting. The focus and lighting on the bee itself are perfect. Great shot!

Wow I can hear the buzzing of the bee in this picture! Really cool nice contrast of the yellow be to the purple flower! I also like how the bee is so small yet so in focus very nice!
