 Cloned out small line on the top left of the photo, and some of the glare on the bee. Was taking some interesting photos of this pine tree, kept hearing a buzzing sound, and finally located on the underside of the bottom branch this bee, snapped a couple of pictures without looking because of location and got this one.

The evergreen branch makes a very distracting background for the bee. This is a visually cluttered shot.

Nice macro... unfortunately the bee/wasp doesn't really stand out from his background which is a little too busy and cluttered.

The pine needles are a little too distracting, takes away from the subject. Otherwise, colors and focus are pretty good.

Composition is a bit too busy and flash lighting a bit too harsh. Good detail is evident, though, as you can see the sap of the tree branch. Also, I like that background being dark black from use of the flash.
