 Cropped, auto levels, usm and resized. Saved for Web.

The bee got into my shed and I watched it from the outside as it climbed the window time after time, and decided to try a few shots. Worked quite well, I thought.

Creative take on Hair, and the "hairy" details are nice and sharp. Would have preferred to see a lot less of the distracting dust particles, though.

A creative take on 'hair'. Bee is nice and sharp. I might consider cropping a bit on the top left so bee is more in 2/3 position, but just a matter of taste. Nice entry.

With the expert editing rules, you could have cloned out the unwanted (unless you really wanted it) in the bottom left corner. The bee/wasp is very sharp, the idea of using glass to shoot it from a different angle was a good one. But imo, the dust particles and the hair makes the shot look messy.

Neat! It would have been nice if the window was clean, of course, but there are some things you just can't do. :P I might also suggest trying to change the focus next time - the focus should probably be on the bee's eyes instead of the rest of the body. But I'm just getting picky now! I like all the details you have captured - good shot!
