Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! The boby count continues: Five Green ribbons (4th places) and three purple ribbons (5th places). But seriously, thank you for all the nice comments and the generous votes.

Hey I got that lens too, why can't I take such pics?? :-)

I was sure this was a ribbon, but some tough competition. Again, great shot.

Nice bee macro. Good contrast with the colour of the flower and nice and sharp on the face. Good one.

Now that's getting in tight!

Wow, fantastic. The yellow of the insect works well against the blue/mauve. Focus is great, shame the antennae arent in focus too, though. 9

Wonderful blend of colors. I love the focus here...with the left eye staring right out of the photo. Very well done.
Post actions
Wow! Beautiful colors! Such a refreshing shot of a subject that has been done over and over again. Only thing that I really hate is that border. This pic stands out without it. I hope this at leasts places in the top five, my fav so far in the challenge. Great job!

The soft lavender flower background gives this image a stunning effect. Very well done.

This photo is astonishing! How did you have the time to prepare this shot? perhaps the bee is dead!

whoah, now that's in your face. great shot, black border lines could be thinner. 9

Excellent Shot, good colors and detail

I wouldn't have penalized you if a little more of the flower is also in focus (though I know the literal ones would have royally damaged your nice macro with sub scores).

The DOF makes this photo even more interesting 9

Going for a ribbon!!!! Perfect capture, well done. You've got a winner here - 10.

Very striking, looks like it's about to break though my monitor! Very effective dof, really makes it come alive. Lovely colours and saturation. Was it alive? 9

This is one of the strongest insect macros I have seen recently. As with all insect macros, the visibility of the fine detail is extremely important, and you definitely captured that well here. The other element of this photo that really strikes me is the complementary colors. I can't recall seeing that in any insect macros that I have come across recently. To me, that is the single strongest element of this photo. The colors are simply meant to be displayed together.

What a close-up. The only problem I have is the busy upper background. But thatt maybe me. Good shot.

This is close!! maybe too close that the only details are the bee's hair. 10
