A bee hoverfly approaching a small thistle flower, where other bees were hanging out. Virtually unsized crop of the image that included the other bees hoverflies and the flower - I just liked how this bee hoverfly was on the bright spot.

I wondered if some fool would try get us to swallow an insect macro with grain. Well, it turns out I'm the fool, because you've done it and it's terrific. The use of the grain effectively isolates the bug in his little round bubble of relative clarity, and the result is a very clever (and legitimate) fresh take on the idea of an insect macro. Great job! 7
The overall effect is nice, although the grain does not ad as much as the rest of the process that gave this picture its earthy tonality. The only change I would make is t ensure that the grain was the same colour as its surrounding environment. That is the problem of digital grain that is not present in film grain.
