 I inherited an unnatural fear of bees from my mother, so this shot was challenging in more than one way. :)

This challenge was my first attempt at shooting insects. I only took a dozen or shots and was happiest with this one.

I doubt that I'm the only one to say this: that there is a lot of wasted image space. It's a butt-shot; we want to see the bees face, unless we're getting intimate with it's butt...

This is a terrific shot - and I like your title. The bee is so crisp and so clear. Nice job!

I like the cropping to bring attention to the insect, but I think it just needs a little less on the left side. Great detail.

Nice bee shot, but composition feels unbalanced. Good exposure and sharpness though.

Wow. Talk about up close and personal. Nice. Why so much negative space though?

Wonderful shot. Love the crop, light and colors. The only thing that could of been better is to include his face. However I realize they don't pose like ya ask them..lol. This is an excellent shot. Congrats
