Interesting that so many don't see the DOF. I guess because I shoot a lot of macro, I'm very impressed that you managed such great DOF. You are usually lucky to just get the bug in focus, much less most of the flower. I'm rarely able to get DOF to this degree on a macro like this. Great job !

This is a great shot. Lighting, focus, colors, composition - all perfect.

Very well done Macro with excellent DOF. I like that you put the subject in the lower right hand corner rather than the center. The colors are quite appealing. Good job.

AHHH! BEE! This is really freakin' me out, I hope you appreciate that I'm commenting on this 'cause that requires me to keep seeing the scary bee from the corner of my eye. You make me cry little tear, buddy. This is so cool- how the hell did you get that close in- even if it's not a live bee that's still quite impressive. The colors are awesome. I hope you place high 'cause this is great. 10

Nice clear focus throughout this macro shot. You meet challenge requirements IMHO. Nice vibrat orange. The shot does seem a bit grainy along the top edge of the image.

I don't see the large dof, but a great photo none the less. 10

Nice Macro with great clarity, but
not really deep depth of field in all actuality.
Maybe proportion deep dof?

Not quite deep DOF as the foreground and background petals are blurry. Excellent macro shot with nice details of the bee and the pollen. Almost makes me want to sneeze. :)

Great macro shot, tough to get a really deep DOF with these, but you managed to do quite well! I like this photo but some people might vote it down because the DOF is not very deep. 7

Wouldn't call this deep depth of field, but I'd sure as hell call it a great shot. It's just too good, not to give it a 10.

Nice shot, a little cliche, but not too bad. 6

I think you almost got this but the tops of the petals are a bit blurred as well as the area on the bottom of the photo. The composition and subject are nice but I'm voting down a bit for not too deep DOF.

It's beautiful. But to be honest, I don't see this as deep depth of field.

Beautiful colors and yes most of the shot is in focus, but I don't think that a Deep DOF MACRO is truly in the spirit of the challenge...

This is an incredible photo, but I'm not entirely sure it qualifies for "deep depth of field."
