Great closeup; I think it would be improved with a tighter crop, leaving only a small part of the bright reddish flower.. The out of focus flowers on the left pull my gaze away from the bee and the flower it's on.
Fantastic photo! I love the variety of color, everything in this really 'pops'! The way the bee stands out clearer than everything else makes it more interesting. Definitely one of the top photos here! Good job...10
I like the composition with the flower and bee in the corner, although not sure I like the background colors of red, orange, and green. I understand you likely had no control over it, but to me they seem to clash a little. Interesting use of dof also, not sure having the front wing OOF and the back wing in focus really adds that much and probably would have liked the entire bee in focus. It's a good macro shot.
Having other flowers in the background help us to see how busy your bee is - nectar here nectar there! Nice colors, I like the shallow DOF - the bees seems focused on this flower right now before it moves on.
Too bad the bee wasn't more in focus, it is noticeable a little blurry.
Wondeful use of colors, and DOF .. I don't like how the yellow flowers closest to the right side are blurry though
Nice clear bee shot but I find it distracting that you chose a landscape approach rather than portrait. And bees in November? Not around here. I find that the light is also a bit flat. Great DOF.
