A little soft and blown out.

sharpness is alright, but the softness of the photo remains. composition needs help too. What does the top half add to the picture.

Focus is a tad off and it looks like there is a shadow from your lens on the front of the flower. You could crop off the bottom and left and create an offcenter composition that IMO would be more effective.

And a blurry one at that. the focus IS a little soft here,and there's a bit of shadow at the bottom. .

Let's see, I counted a little over 100 bug shots. After awhile commenting gets to be ho humm and my fingers automatically type "good capture...nice focus". This one included. However, I will add that this one appears flat. I use Photoshop Elements and would try adjusting the shadows and highlights to give it more depth and make your bee stand out from the picture better. Also, try cropping a little closer at the bottom to get rid of the shadow.

Good shot, I would like to see the bee a little sharper though.

Just a tad soft.

Meets challenge for sure. But the flower petals are blownout and lacking contrast. the DOF on the bee should have been on it's body not it's wing, IMHO.

This is one of those images that challenges the defination of 'macro', and really comes much closer to 'close-up' than it does 'macro'. <5>

its a shame the subject is out of focus here, a nice shot otherwise - almost looks like a model wasp! :-) 6

I wish this were in better focus.

focus is on front of flower so subject fly is off a bit to me

This in my opinion is a little out of focus and a little over exposed... If it weren't for that it would be a nice capture.

This is nice, but just a bit out of focus.
