FIRST IMPRESSION: Bright, colorful shot. A rare capture of a bee at work.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: I am left wondering why you chose to crop off the top of the flower (or if that was accidental) as it does seem to break the flow of the shot. Centered composition works very well for this subject.

TECHNICAL: Exposure, lighting and color are flawless. Excellent choice of aperture; the shallow depth of field really helps draw attention to your subject.

CONCLUSION: Great shot. Odd to have the shot of the back of the bee and have him on his side, but for this type of shot I am not really bothered by that. Again, my only real issue with this shot is the cut-off top of the flower. Well-done!

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

If you didn't tell me it was a bee, I would never have known.

a thinner border would detract less from this shot, I love the cuteness of the little bee's bottom covered in pollen! :)

Awesome macro, all that pollen on the bee and the way he is greedily in the flower going for more gives this image impact!
