Very nice, good DoF. I like the colors and contrast.

5 - Good potential. Criticism; sharper on the 'fore parts' of the bee, as seems to be on the far wing, etc and a tweaking of the lighting/contrast (which may not be needed if the focal point was adjusted), may have made this better in my opinion. Just noticed the purple/lavender in the background/bokeh, perhaps framing this with more height, to incorporate more of that, may also have given this something extra. Even just the lavender (with the same focus/sharpness/detail issues), without the bee, make for another (albeit different) good shot, in my opinion.

Great picture. Love the colors. With greater focus on the eye instead of the body, you would have really nailed this shot! But it's still outstanding none-the-less. Nice job!

Lovely composition. Beautiful colors. Wish the focus had been on the bee's head rather than her abdomen. Seems to be a harsh transition from 'in focus' to 'out of focus' - looks a tad overprocessed, maybe.
