Too bad about the noise. I think this would be better if you pulled back and gave more context. Nice muted tones. ;)

gave this one a 10. the level of detail is quite stunning, and though macros of insects are becoming quite the frequent subject here on dpc, rarely is it done so spectacularly as this. his little furry body, and the liquidy appearance of the wings are so interesting! and (for an insect) he is displaying such personailty and cute characteristics, busily working away in a world of contentment, concentrating on the pollen - you can easily imagine him happily humming kaiser chief songs to himself (i think it's an indie bee). composition is a little bit too in yer face for me; stepping back a bit to give greater context from the surroundings might have enhanced the overall appeal a bit. but still stunning nonetheless.

Nicest bee photo I've seen yet. Super sharp and composition is very pleasing. This would make a nice print.
