Ahh..covered in pollen, it took me a second to figure that out. I like how you caught him flying away from the flower, and I really like the blue background, it really makes the yellows in this "pop".

Took me a moment to work out where the bees head is - GRIN! For more drama maybe play with the image and see what it would look like if you only had the top right corner, I think it too would have made a good image.

I like the yellow of the bee and how it ties well with the yellow of the flower. For me, the other background flowers are a little distracting. I also like the shadows on the flower and the bee's wings.

Technically very nice but not exceptional. I think we see photos like this pretty routinely now and it takes something unusual to really stand-out from the crowd.

Good catch on the bee, but the shot overall doesnt hold much for me. Doesnt have the wow power that is needed for me in a FS.

The focus is great here, it's reasonable sharp (even on the bee) and it's a good moment. I just feel it would be better if you had managed to capture the bee flying sideways, or had the bee slightly sharper than the flower... but that's for those masterful folk who fire 1000 frames to capture a bee. Anyhow, all in all I've prattled too much, in the end, a 6 from me.
