Very well done! The blurry green background is wonderful as it separates the bee from the background and complements the purple flowers. I love the fact that the bee is NOT in the center of the photo. The only reason I did not give five stars is this photo would be stronger without the brightest flowers in the lower third of the photo. In my opinion, cropped closer to the bee would keep my attention on the bee. Keep up the wonderful work!

    LOL, but of course. My eye just favors pulling into my subject. When I do my sports/action photography, I'm always pushing the limits of my 300 mm lense. I'm flattered this nature shot left a lasting impression, louyeaux. Your insights, rating and commentary are truly appreciated and valued. All my best. Lisa
Comment from angel on a dark path


I'd rather just key in "perfect" and let it go at that!
Lovely detailed macro of a wonderful subject.

Great macro image, love to look at these because they show great detail of what we can't see. Sharpness, coloration excellent. Flowers, bee all stand out well. You really got in close with this one.

The greatest picture of a bee i've ever laid eyes on. I havent seen too many other entries for the nature contest, but this is my favorite so far.

Comment from Milezone


Ok I have started a new rating system that will get more in-depth with judging. Please remember I am very very tough on ratings, not to just be mean, but I want to help fellow photographers improve and know what they need to do to make their work better. I will rarely give all 5
