Nice stopped motion and good control of the exposure consider the large amount of whites. The detail in the Prunus/Cheery blossoms is amazing. I also like the hint of blue.

Very nice capture on the bee. I agree with Deb that the background is a little busy but you still did a good job on it.

Great capture, Steve! I really don't understand "busy background is distracting" comments when one is shooting not set-up shots, but maybe that's just me. And I like the background - puts it all into context and adds interest. Wonderful focus on the bee and very nice editing - I'll have to look up those filters.

Wonderful capture of the bee in flight, but the busy background is distracting. 6
