 I realize the focus is more on the leaf here, but I liked it even if it was a little soft on the bee itself. Maybe it will do okay anyway :)

this guys are difficult to photograph. Almost caought him with good focus. Just needs to be a bit sharper.

I'm curious to see the exif data on this one, all the elements are there for a great shot (vibrant colours, composition and exposure are fine, good subject) but it sadly fails on the focus.

would have been great with a little more detail in the bee and flower.

Funky distortion

I'm sure I'm not the first to comment about the clarity of the bee. Get that right and you've got a neat photo!

The bee is slightly out of the focal range. Nice composition.

bold colours and sharp insect spell great photography. The bold border doesn't add

Motion blur, unfortunately....

for this kind of shot to work well, the main subject (the bee, I assume) has to be extremely sharp... nice light, colors, and bokeh though

Not bad, but seems like you have some sort of motion blur in this image, maybe a tripod or faster shutterspeed next time?
