one day an enormous hog-pile of bees was having a convention on my tree in my front yard. so i took closeups obviously. not much photoshop. crop, levels, desaturate, sharpen, save. (the next day they were gone, and when the challenge is over i'll put a few more of this bizarre occurance.)

hmmmm... interesting that you choose bw. I prolly would have stayed with the colour... but that's me.
Could use a bit of a contrast boost, IMHO & a bit more deeper dof. Nice capture tho. Good luck!
5 - Good concept, would like to see a lot more detail and maybe even some type of depth. I have to wonder about color v b/w though, especially with all those translucent reflective wings about.
