The photo subject itself is very overdone, but you've done a very nice job of presenting it. Very nice detail and colors on the cactus.

Good image and DOF, it would be better if you didn't center your subject. Also consider adjusting your settings so your image uses more of the 150K file size limit. 5-ClubJuggle

Try cropping background at top, and just a little on the right, placing bee more of-center.

Nice angle on the bee with the flower. The pedals seem grainy and blend into the bee's wings.

Your bee picture is a bit more busy than the other bee pictures, what I mean by busy is it is hard to make out the details because of the lack of strong contrast between the elements. Don't ask

Nice composition/DOF. The "stem" of the cactus seems in better focus than the flower and bee. For your own portfolio afterwards, try sharpening up the flower and bee selectively. I know you couldn't for the challenge, but it's worth trying later because it is nice otherwise.

Interestin image, but I dont like bullseye centering on a subject like this... I would have tried for a tighter crop possibly... = 6 - jmsetzler

Nice shot of a bee... Your file is only 30 k, 1/5 of what you're allowed... less compression would make it look quite a bit nicer.

Nice macro shot. Good focus and composition.

Nice, nearly perfect (leading edge of flower appears slightly out of focus) Great Bee. I like the image as a whole. 9 Swash

This is a nice macro. The color just isn't right and I'm not sure if that's your camera that limits you or a change in levels you did.
