Love the DOF and focus here. Look at his little feet (hands?) holding on to the flower! Very cool shot.

The title rocks, but beyond that you used a lovely DOF here to create a truly intimate photograph. This is really quite gorgeous!

Bet you dragged them all in with your title. Great closeup! I would have been about 15 feet away to take the pic - I hate bugs! Lovely colors as well.

This is a wonderful shot, Karen. You got a good score for it, but I think it should have done even better. Terrific focus and lovely colors. Not easy to catch one of those busy bees.

Very clever idea and title supported by a nice soft yet beautifully focussed image

Great shot. Nice balance of colors. Centered composition works well in this case. Beautiful!

a bit more DOF would get more of the bee in focus, IMO.

"SEX"? hahaha! if I were gonna shoot "pure sex" I'd sure never shoot a bee... but that amuses me no end, it really does, and i'm sure this is what you intended; the "birds and the bees"...
