Thanks for submitting. To make the subject bees stand out more, I suggest getting closer, make sure they are in focus, and have a little less exposure so they are not so washed out.
I like the color touch. More DOF (and possibly faster shutter speed to freeze the bees) to get all the flowers on the same focal plane, since they are really highlighted with the desat of the rest of the colors
Challenge met. I think you were going for the "desaturate all but one color" thing here, I'm not sure it works for me though.
IT makes the flowers stand out more, but the bees are almost fading into the background because of it. The image also looks as if it needs rotating 90 degrees CW and could be a little bigger. On the plus side, I think you have a good base image to work with, try and work in color and make it a little bigger and see what you get :)
