I prefer the original crop, although needs some USM - IMO it would have done better (but what do I know :-)
Great capture, stunning colours too - seems like your subject liked their photo being taken :-)
The only thing I could downscore this for is that the focal point seems to be just off the head, and the fangs look a little out of focus (maybe they were moving?) but if this general area had been in focus i think this would have been an easy 9 for me, and perhaps a 10 for the original crop ;-) |

| Wow! Such a beautiful image. I love the color combination. The sharpness is outstanding. I would have expected this to score in the top 10! |

| Just under a 6 is a nice rating, but I'm surprised this photo didn't end up even higher. I really had it picked for top 20 at least. The colors are outstanding and you did a great job with the macro. |

It's a great macro shot, but I had to look twice before I knew what I was looking at.
Maybe a bit bigger crop would have worked better for my understanding |

| This is so incredibly well done. The amazing range of vibrant colors is very visually appealing. The fact that you were able to get him looking right at you and focused speaks volumes about your skill, but that you also had time and attention to adjust the aperature for such a close DOF is just astounding to me. Meanwhile your subject holds on tightly to the petal, the proof of his plundering present in the pollen on his antennae. Terrific work. 10, just-married |
