Thought this would look better without the border.

who's waiting? the cricket? what is he waiting for? perhaps I'm not entomologically sophisticated enough for this. Nice image, though.

I like the photo and the coloring and its really a great catch, but I dont know if I can really relate the saying to the photo. I wouldnt have come up with that saying based on the photo.

For a while there I didn't even notice that huge bee. Wonderful photo however it seems like that grasshopper who I assume is waiting doesn't look all that blessed to me. :P

8!

Double your money, double your fun.

I like how there appears to be a couple of applications of the title in this pic. Indeed, you are blessed to get two such relaxed insects so close together, and blessed will be the cricket when it's his (her?) turn...

The only think I don't like is all the distracting background poking through. A closer crop might have helped that as well as brought more detail to our little friends. I might have done a 35-50 degree clockwise rotation as well to make the rectangle fit the petals better as well as re-align the insects in frame... That's just my take on it though.

beautiful but can't undertand why you chose this cliche?

Mmmhh... Okay, this is a beautiful image. Colours are vibrant and I love the capture. The two thick borders on the top and bottom don't sit too well with me, and your title with the image too. Who is waiting in the image? You as the photographer, or the bug to the side? Nevertheless, it's a very good photo. Well done.
