My thanks to all for your votes and kind words. I really feel honored to share the front page with the other winners. For BabyHeads, this was real and not staged, and the subjects co-operated quite well. They minded their business and I tried not to interfere. I picked this one out of about 40 shots. It helped to have a sunflower as tall as myself so I could stand up and set up the tripod and wait for the right moments. At one point there were 4 bees on the same flower head!
I gave this a 10, but never left a comment. I think this is a winner. You've captured a lovely moment beautifully, even flawlessly. A well deserved placing.
Great color, composition and framing. The all yellow background serves to highlight the subject. A technically perfect effort in one of the most competitive challenges ever.
This is an amazing shot of a flower! Oh wait a minute there's a bee on it! :o) And I thought this was a non-flower challenge. 10 for the shot minus 5 for the flower = 5 I truly fee that both the flower and the bee are the main subjects here.
Beautiful and vibrant colour, great composition, it's like he's on a stage with a soft rug beneath his feet and a yellow curtain behind him. I like the diagonal of his body - aids composition.
I am trying not to let the fact that many people took pictures of insects affect my voting, however originality is huge for me in this challenge. Great picture! However, in this challenge I am going to give it a 4
