The bee is spectacular. I'll bump to a six and hope DPC does as well 6.0
Post actions
A pleasant image, but the angle on the bee - i miss being able to see the eyes.
Post actions
In our face. My guess is yours.

I always admire detail in a close-up but I find this one over-saturated. Maybe it's just the light Anyway, I gave it a seven but I think that is high. 6
Post actions
I think you'll do a bit better with this crisp macro. 5.8
Post actions
Outstanding clarity. Five times two from me.
Post actions
I don't know, just might break 6.0
Post actions
It will probably be a 5.8.

I'm sorry, I'm now commenting on my lower votes, so its difficult to offer a playable comment. I think the bee on the flower is a bit of a cliche and although technically engaging as a process to the photographer (I've spent hours myself), they seldom translate to an interesting image for viewers. I think the rear end of any creature is seldom its best side and the sharpness seems a little pushed. I think you'll be lower than your score - perhaps 5.2?

Very good bee shot. Something makes it look flatter than need be...not sure if it's too much contrast or if yellows are just overexposed. 5.75
Post actions
Great sharp macro. I put you higher than your predictions
Post actions
This is among a relatively small number of images that I think will score well. 6.3

Radiant and kaleidoscopic. 5.7

I gave it a five. Guessing a 5.6.

Beautiful bee and nice colors. The whole looks very sharp (perhaps too). 5.61
Post actions
Terrific bee even if not airborne. Should be close to a 6.22.
Post actions
nice sharpness, but no wow-factor
Post actions
Really nice Macro! very sharp , good depth of Field across the flower, well done! this should do way better than your prediction at least a 6.4 my vote for you is eight Good Luck
Post actions
the bee is so sharp it's almost cartoony. I like that so I'll give you a five. DPC will give you 5.7
Post actions
Not easy to catch insects like that- 6.45

Seems closer to 5, but I could bee wrong.
Post actions
There went something wrong in the PP. The background was blurred but you didn't do a clean job between the flower. I only look at this and not at the bee anymore. 5.4
Post actions
nice detail on the bee, but overall something feels a bit off.
Post actions
better, imo, than mid fives. I think 6.3

Just a tad overexposed for my taste.... I think the voters will like it though. Nice and crisp DOF. 6.2

I voted before looking at titles, now commenting.
Post actions
5 for sure from me, I bet it will be about the same for the avg
Post actions
Must say that I never managed to get a shot of a bee. Did not even try it perhaps because it's so well done too many times. I always look with interest at all flora and fauna images but there are far too many and even if people at DPC are quite generous with their scores I doubt that you'll get past your guess
Post actions
Lovely detail here. I would estimate this to finish at 6.2
Post actions
Nice macro. I predict 5.5.
Post actions
Very sharp bee, the crop is kind of different, may of had no choice, maybe a little under estimated, I'm going to guess 5.78.
Post actions
The colours pop right off the screen - nice! Perhaps it has been oversharpened or maybe a high pass filter applied too strongly - it looks a little crunchy. 5.62
Post actions
Cool macro shot but I think you went a smidge over with the PP.
Post actions
In the 5 some where well caught with the bee
Post actions
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score a little low, I gave you a six and I predict that you will finish at 6,0541
Post actions
Nic,e but seems overexposed on yellows and maybe over-sharpened. 5
Post actions
5.2 Her back looks honeyed.

I imagine 5.5 is about right. It feels unnaturally flat and somewhat oversharpened. Very clean on the bee though.
