Greeting from the Critique club. I have searched over your entry and would like to offer some suggestions for you. I like the composition and the subject that you have chosen here. The pollen and the colors are nice for the challenge. I like the fact that you went macro with it. However I would like to see a little more light on the subject the photo seems just a touch flat. Not sure if its the lack of contrast, or the lighting and you had to save the photo from being too dark. I also would like to see a touch more saturation and sharpness on the center. Overall I think you did very well. Good luck with future challenges.
5 - Good idea. A little 'deeper' dof to get all in focus in the center, as well as a little more included compositionally on the top, make this even better in my opinion.
