 Caught this bee in the flying away. No post done, probably needs a little cropping to bring out the moment.

I would have to agree on the cropping. You actually have a couple if really nice options. For the Stopped Motion III challenge, I think a crop to fill the frame with the flowe and the bee would have more impact. I do love the colors in the image, and the shallow DOF lends a nice Bokeh effect to your background.

I really like the soft blur of the bee's wings and the pick centers of the blossoms. It is what I find in small details like this that makes the image beautiful.

nice idea, but the bee is going in the wrong direction. you probably could have framed this up a bit tighter (or cropped it in afterwards).

I think I would have cropped this a little tighter so more attention would be on the bee. Maybe a different angle would have helped also.

That bee doesn't have enough pollen on it to head home yet. ;^) Your image seems a little soft, although it could be this work monitor. Good luck in the challenge.
