Hi from the Critique Club.

Fit: There is an insect therre so no DNMC

Composition: The bee is a bit centered in the frame and he's also a bit small.

Technical: With no PP there isn't too much you can do. Minimal Editing means you need to tweak those camera settings before you shoot. In this case I think it needs a bit of contrast and maybe saturation boost?

Feel: There is a nice mix of colours but the bee just doesn't stand out enough from the flowers he is on.

PM me if you have any queries

Nice concept. A crop around the bee or a different colour flower so that the Bee stood out would have scored higher for me.

The colors and lighting are lovely. It's just too hard to see the bee.

Nicely done, but very busy with all the flowers.

Very pretty, good composition but it seems washed out and dull. Perhaps it was overexposed a bit.

you kind of lose the bee among the flowers, the colors are too close. maybe if you had taken the shot from the side, he would have stood out a bit.
