Nice pic here, did quite well imo. The sharpness, colors, dof are all good. Only the composition is a bit minor. The butterfly more to the bottom-right cornor woud have been better imo. And I also would have liked the bee out of there ;)
You are so right Marj ,but you know I think I had a bad case of the update button flu that week ! I needed a fix so bad ,and it was the only thing that I had that would work for that challenge . LOL
Great timing and capture with beautiful colors. Very Nice!
(I think a different crop would have helped the score for this particular challenge. Doesn't quite have the greeting card format.)
I'm generally no fan of bug photos - but this is pretty amazing - I would have tried cropping right down to the amazing part, all the background to the left just dillutes your image IMO - maybe a skosh brighter? - great timing though
