My favorite image from the challenge.

Funny that it should place next to an image with the same title.

By far my favorite shot this challenge. My only 10.

Congrats on the finish! How fitting that two of the three on the podium would be tulip shots :).

I think you should've gotten the red, though - your shot is superior to mine, both photographically and in terms of processing.

Thank you to all the voters and commenters! I don't have a lot of experience with macro photography, so you know I'm overjoyed with how well it did, and with such praise from IreneM. This was one of maybe 20-30 shots of just this bee (itself one of many that I chased around), and really the only one that was in focus and had an acceptable amount of motion blur (there is some visible at 100%). The composition was mostly achieved through cropping, since I had little time to compose while shooting.

Black piece at the top-left seems to be the bottom part of a jacket.
Going down from there, there's a thigh oriented straight down the left edge of the image.
Further down, the knee... and the bottom part of the leg goes toward the middle of the image, ending in a dark (black?) shoe.
