The bee is spectacular. I'll bump to a six and hope DPC does as well 6.0

A pleasant image, but the angle on the bee - i miss being able to see the eyes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 10:42:15 PM
In our face. My guess is yours.

I always admire detail in a close-up but I find this one over-saturated. Maybe it's just the light Anyway, I gave it a seven but I think that is high. 6

I think you'll do a bit better with this crisp macro. 5.8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 05:55:21 PM
Outstanding clarity. Five times two from me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 04:43:51 PM
I don't know, just might break 6.0
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 03:59:45 PM
It will probably be a 5.8.

I'm sorry, I'm now commenting on my lower votes, so its difficult to offer a playable comment. I think the bee on the flower is a bit of a cliche and although technically engaging as a process to the photographer (I've spent hours myself), they seldom translate to an interesting image for viewers. I think the rear end of any creature is seldom its best side and the sharpness seems a little pushed. I think you'll be lower than your score - perhaps 5.2?

Very good bee shot. Something makes it look flatter than need be...not sure if it's too much contrast or if yellows are just overexposed. 5.75
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 10:35:52 AM
Great sharp macro. I put you higher than your predictions

My guess is 6.159
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 04:34:57 AM
This is among a relatively small number of images that I think will score well. 6.3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 12:14:01 AM
Radiant and kaleidoscopic. 5.7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 05:01:36 PM
I gave it a five. Guessing a 5.6.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 05:19:29 AM
Beautiful bee and nice colors. The whole looks very sharp (perhaps too). 5.61
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2015 07:05:22 PM
Terrific bee even if not airborne. Should be close to a 6.22.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2015 04:27:31 AM
nice sharpness, but no wow-factor
6 from me and I predict a 5.8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 11:54:47 PM
Really nice Macro! very sharp , good depth of Field across the flower, well done! this should do way better than your prediction at least a 6.4 my vote for you is eight Good Luck
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 10:33:41 PM
the bee is so sharp it's almost cartoony. I like that so I'll give you a five. DPC will give you 5.7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 09:03:18 PM
Not easy to catch insects like that- 6.45
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 07:58:43 PM

5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 01:53:28 PM
Seems closer to 5, but I could bee wrong.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 11:18:22 AM
There went something wrong in the PP. The background was blurred but you didn't do a clean job between the flower. I only look at this and not at the bee anymore. 5.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 10:43:00 AM
nice detail on the bee, but overall something feels a bit off.
I expect you'll go above your prediction, I say 5.7763
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 04:19:29 AM
better, imo, than mid fives. I think 6.3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 03:53:04 AM
not really 5.25
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 11:47:22 PM
Just a tad overexposed for my taste.... I think the voters will like it though. Nice and crisp DOF. 6.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 07:09:59 PM
5.6851 (I gave it a six)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 05:39:31 PM
I voted before looking at titles, now commenting.

This is a tough on to gauge. The image is overall nice and bright. But seems to have some sharpening issue. That might keep you below a 6. I gave you a 6.

My guess: 5.61
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 05:06:46 PM
5 for sure from me, I bet it will be about the same for the avg
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:12:12 PM
Must say that I never managed to get a shot of a bee. Did not even try it perhaps because it's so well done too many times. I always look with interest at all flora and fauna images but there are far too many and even if people at DPC are quite generous with their scores I doubt that you'll get past your guess

Mine is 5.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 02:39:34 PM
Lovely detail here. I would estimate this to finish at 6.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 10:17:48 AM
Nice macro. I predict 5.5.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 10:16:12 PM
Very sharp bee, the crop is kind of different, may of had no choice, maybe a little under estimated, I'm going to guess 5.78.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 08:55:11 PM
The colours pop right off the screen - nice! Perhaps it has been oversharpened or maybe a high pass filter applied too strongly - it looks a little crunchy. 5.62
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 06:31:19 PM
Cool macro shot but I think you went a smidge over with the PP.
I'm in higher than your guess.
Back to post my guess. 5.56
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 05:38:58 PM
In the 5 some where well caught with the bee
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 02:28:34 PM
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score a little low, I gave you a six and I predict that you will finish at 6,0541
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 12:52:44 PM
Nic,e but seems overexposed on yellows and maybe over-sharpened. 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 10:39:23 AM
5.2 Her back looks honeyed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/02/2015 12:39:24 PM
Sharpeness wow. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/30/2015 12:41:27 AM
I imagine 5.5 is about right. It feels unnaturally flat and somewhat oversharpened. Very clean on the bee though.
