 The piece of trash is an Air Head wrapper with a bee on it. I am fairly sure that there will be a decent number of people that notice that the bee isn't alive (I wish it were). I froze the bee hoping to not get as much of a dead look.

Anyway, the important part is that I like my submission this week way, way better than last week's snapshot.

The bee is a little dark (hard to see). Actually, I think that might be a wasp? I like the composition. Good eye to catch this.

photo is a bit too busy, not enough focus on the bee (focal point focus, not technical focus)

Nice macro. It could use a little more exposure on the bee, but we can all tell what it is. Good luck!

Nice color and composition, it would be nice if the bee were just a bit lighter though. Good shot. DPz
