 The miracle of nature: reproduction in plants - pollinisation. Pollen textures .... interesting are the shades created by the petals and the insect on the petals. Image was a full flower, cropped it a bit to emphasize the insect on top. The gap at the top right corner looks like a passage way

This is a great photo, I like the composition, and bright yellow color. It would've been better if the bee was in focus,it looks a little off. The yellow looks a little oversaturated, but that might just be me.

lighting is off (too bright), and focus is a little soft. good composition

For textures this subtle, you need more creative lighting to bring them out. This appears tto be very flat.

A little too soft on the focus, but otherwise a nice shot...

I don't know if the focus is too soft or the saturation of color is too much, or what, because I am an amateur, but the think the potential texture is lost in this photo.

Needs more contrast and better focus, but nice idea

Macros have to be sharply focused...nice capture though.

This looks slightly out of focus.

There's a haziness across this that's annoying - like fogging on a lens. That seems to have muted the detail too, which is a pity in a neat composition.

seems too blured to me..should have sharpen it more...giving more focus on the bud.... just a thought...

Good macro, but seems to have lost some details. Seems a little dim. The texture is there.

Maybe if it was a little sharper, but nice macro! Good luck!

Nice capture and color, but focus seems a tad soft. Could be sharper to bring out the texture of the seed center.

I feel the image lacks sharpness (for my taste that is) and the lighting is too harsh. Good luck.
