I love the coloring but in the same time it bit confuses me... seems bit like green half is reflection. Also composition is bit unbalanced.

Hovering Dream is right...very dreamy effect to this photo. This color combo is very cool. Excellent photo!

IMHO this is more out of focus than soft focus but the colours are nice and I do like the composition

I like the two color fields split down the mirror. this has an otherworldly quality to it. it's like no bug macro I've ever seen. 8

oh, this is lovely. and the soft focus is used subtly and really effectively here, with a certain style that really brings out the image. it's beautiful; definetly has immediate wow impact. though, the more i study it, the more that it feels it isn't entirely natural - there is something i can't place that is not quite right about the middle taller flowers... the background is lovely, really compliments the colours of the subjects. 9.

this shot is too blurry...could be sharper...Just Kidding!!

Good macro shot, nice focus on the bee. I'm not too sure about the color saturation/desaturation

Difficult shot to get, but almost too out of focus.
