I really liked this shot (gave it a 9). It was in my top 3 shots. I think the focus is good and the colors are wonderful. I also really liked the title.

I still can't figure out how this shot ended up down here.

I did not kill this WASP (NOT BEE) for the purpose of this shot, i saw her passing out on the sidewalk and decided to take a photo. I was testing the humor here and it didn´t work.

Is this (was this) a sweet honey bee? I hope not, they are our friends

How can we get intimate with a dead wasp?

Weirdly, this hapless wasp looks like it's floating. How was it killed - it doesn't looked squashed? I would have cropped the left side, and perhaps reduced sharpen levels a touch.

Good humor. More of the ground could be cropped out. A tombstone would really make this funny.

LOL, did you kill this bug for the purpose of this shot? Poor thing : ). Very clear and sharp well done.

Good clarity and shadow. Hope this isn't given lower scores because of the title.

Dead bees are one of my favorite things in the world. 6
09/08/2003 03:55:03 PM
One of my favorites...I hate bees. I love how the legs are all standing straight up.
09/08/2003 12:27:57 PM
Ah, the sacredness of life...
Very funny though, shame about the shadow which lessens the impact of the shot. Composition seems a bit unimaginative. 6

I don't think bees are bastards. They are lovely and don't hurt you so long as you don't move frantically around them. This is a very sad photo to me...
09/08/2003 10:48:02 AM
Belly up... ya Iget it. Great sharpness.
09/08/2003 06:51:56 AM
ROFL at the title! It's even funnier that the legs are straight out into the air... almost looks like a cartoon shot.
