 Thanks to those who commented. And a top 100 for a free study is awesome for me. TO answer a few questions. The "sky" that seems un-naturally blue isnt sky at all. This was taken in my kitchen with posterboard as the background. The bee was found on a cold day here and I took him inside and photographed until he got too active then I let him back out.

The colors are spectacular and the composition is also very nice. My only complaint is that this gets a little on the busy side.

Very nice crisp shot!! Perhaps just a tiny bit overexposed...looks like some blown highlights on the insect's legs. Great colors in the flower and background!

Very nice sharp as a tack macro. Do think it's little overexposed and the blue sky doesn't look naturally blue for some reason.

One of the best macro shots I've seen. I really love the complementary colors and the perfect DOF. Awesome job.

Really nice macro...lovely colors, though a bit saturated for my tastes. Great clarity and contrast. :)
