Taken in the back yard, early morning on my cana lilies. When I saw the photos back on my computer I was struck by how much the leaves looked like blades of grass and how tiny the bee looked.
I did some cropping and contrast/brightness adjustments. Resizing/sharpen.

Great work on only your second entry at DPC. As stated below the colors and lines are great. It met the challenge very well.
There is nothing that I can see to technically improve the shot. I personally would have liked a closer shot of the bee, but then you wouldn't get the effect of "proportion" for the challenge, so you did right. The only other thing would be a crisper shot. I see a bit of noise and the photo is a bit soft overall.
Overall, I think it is a great photo that you should be proud of. I look forward to seeing your future work.
Great capture! Love the light in the bee's eye! Color seems a little pale but it doesn't really detratct that much. Graininess at the extremes doesn't feel right though.
