I like the pollen. Something about the photo is throwing me off though. Can't quite place it. Something about the color is making me think of 70s shag carpet.
Ah, the ol' bee gathering pollen macro. Countless examples on DPC. Probably very few without wings, but this one isn't really without wings either. I'd give it a 3 out of 10 on the uniqueness meter. The centered composition doesn't really do anything for me either.
Granted, I can't remember seeing a wingless version of this critter on dpc (can't say I've searched lol). I'm loving the right half of this but for me the left half lets things down a little. Maybe its the very shallow dof but his/her body is a little blown out and oof and I think the left background could do with a little neat image. Overall I quite like the image but sadly, for me it doesn't make me say 'WOW' Good luck :)
Great macro! I did not catch the fit to this challenge until I read your title - since there are many bug macros. But with your title, I understand where you were going with it. Great photo and great capture!
