Maybe I did drop your score...I gave you a 6...but at least I had the nerve to comment. The majority of the other people who scored you less than me...didn't!!!

Wonderful point of view, colors and detail. The DOF leads the eye right to the pollen-coveered bee face. I might have cropped out the pink wall/planter/whatever on the right as its color doesn't complement the flower.

Dang, this is cool! Lovely macro with great color and detail, particulary the polen covering this guy's face. He's a mess and he's probably lovin' every minute of it.
