Difficult shot. The bumble bee seems distracting, since he's not in focus. I would have chopped off the bottom just above the junk on the leaf.

No more insects, please!
But a good shot, anyway.

very nice

Nice lupine too, the bee is pretty, especially since it's moving (extra degree of difficulty points!) Nice focus/color. 9 Swash

pretty. Better if bee was more in focus

The colors are beautiful!!, but the bee seems to get lost since the photo is so busy - perhaps if you could've gotten closer or cropped more of the plant out it would fit your title better (IMO) good job. 6 cthenk

6 nice job
07/18/2002 08:31:00 AM
I would crop the right and bottom part.
07/17/2002 06:06:00 PM
Too many bug photos...
07/17/2002 10:50:00 AM
nice colours.
07/17/2002 09:46:00 AM
Your busy bee is out of focus and way to small.
07/17/2002 03:24:00 AM
great cropping and composition. it takes just enough time to move down the flower to see the bee.
07/17/2002 01:21:00 AM
very clear shot, but the bee is not the main attraction here, it is the flower
07/17/2002 12:30:00 AM
The framing on this shot could be better -- the flowers on the right are the worst part of that. You might have also tried a faster shutter speed to get the blur out of the bee ... but then again, I'm guessing if you spent too much time messing with your settings, you'd be suing the site for your allergic reaction to a bee sting ;)

very nice :) I think a slightly tighter crop would be even better on this one :) = 6 - jmsetzler

I too photographed bees this week. I know how difficult it can be. I filled 128MB smart media card 3 times and got only 1 good shot, but not good enough to enter...."Good job!"
07/16/2002 09:51:00 PM
Seems a bit overexposed. A tighter crop on the bee would be an improvement...at the expense of image quality....can't ever win. 6 Lisa

Nice shot. Good color and focus. The subject is so small that it almost gets lost so maybe tighter cropping?
07/16/2002 06:11:00 PM
aghh
07/16/2002 04:58:00 AM
I think i would have liked this photo if it didn't have the bee. I like the formation of the green leaves at the bottom, and the purple is great. 6

Excellent shot of capturing a bee at work. Nice and sharp.
07/15/2002 08:07:00 PM
I like how you didn't consentrate on the bee. Crisp!-9
07/15/2002 07:34:00 PM
Beautiful flowers...they almost pop off the screen....!
07/15/2002 06:55:00 PM
bee needs to be more focused, but nice macro
07/15/2002 05:03:00 PM
Lovely. Might of adjusted the levels a bit to give some depth to the colors as they are a bit washed out from the bright sunshine. Over all I like this. Kee
07/15/2002 04:12:00 PM
an excellent capture of an elusive subject, fairly well composed, considering the difficulty level.
07/15/2002 03:13:00 PM
Copy the comments from the last bee on flower photo and past here >>
Personaly I would have waited until the bee was at the top of the flower cluster.
07/15/2002 02:31:00 PM
Good catch.
07/15/2002 02:13:00 PM
Nice ! The main issue I have is that the bee isn't in focus. They are hard to get I know. I might even crop off some of that on the bottom too but that's just preference:)
07/15/2002 01:51:00 PM
maybe cropped too much but a good fresh feel
