Nice capture. The magenta's not doing it for me though.

thta is really grainy, soft focus on the flower, and really purple. other than that it is an excellent photo.

Color and/or saturation off. I've never seen a purple bee before.

I am not a fan of the purple hue on this image. Looks like you had a pretty good macro image and IMO you messed it up with too much processing. Nature is beautiful all by itself. Another suggestion would be to not have the bee in the center. I think that you zoomed in waaaaay too close because I see pixels on the flower petals. Nice capture of the bee, would love to see this picture after the challenge before you edited it.

I wish the hue had not been altered so much.

Nice capture, unfortunately I don't like the added colour.

umm, why did you change the yellow hue ot purple? I'm just sure it was a great bee macro without that.

I think this needs some colour balancing

i like the shot, the pink/purple seems a little too dominate tho

Although the bee is delicate the way you edited the cloroing balance and gave it a bright vibrant purple color it makes the photo less delicate and more intense.

the colours look very artificial. i'd have preferred it ewith more natural colors.

I would love to see this in its original colours. The purple in the flower is fine for me, I'm just not sure about the purple "fur" to the bee's body. I love the light on the bee's wings.
