| I think I would like this better with the negative space in front of the bee, to show where he's headed. That's just me though, I think it works either way. |

| My only (minor) problem is, the file could be larger. I'm not talking about a different crop, I'm talking about a larger size picture. |

| Its a cool picture, I wonder what kinda bug it is. I like how you cant see the wings. |

| Althogh the quality of this shot is not the best, I think it fits this challenge very well. The use of negative space makes it feel like your subject is moving through the frame. There is a lot of noise in the background though. |

| Excellent, one of the few shots on DPC that are hard to do and well executed. I often struggle with glare on this species. Oh and congrats on not calling it a bug, that one really drives me mad. |

| Those bugs are so fun to shoot because they just hover like that so it's easy to get a shot of them. Great job, except I would have shown a little more above and below it. |

| The insect should have been on the other side of the shot.. this shot leads your eye out of the shot.. Even though the motion is captured in still form your mind wants to see where the insect is going! Well frozen however!! |

| Amazing!, very difficult picture. I recommend you the bee on the left, it will give more impression of speed. Nine for you. |

| Those wings are certainly going fast - well done capturing him midflight. I also like your composition - it shows that his is flying along. |
