Gee - that is beautiful. What sets it apart from most macros of bugs is the yummy sherbet pastels. This is excellent.

Very nice final version here. I like how you cropped to bring us closer to your main subject. The original was good but bringing us closer to your main subject is a definate plus especially when you can see more details. In the close-up version we really get to see the details in the 'hairs' on the upper body of the bee and the eye (love that gleam that really comes out and is more noticable with the post-processing). I also love how the background colors have shifted to a more pastel hues - perfect complimentary backdrop for this bee for it invokes the idea of Spring with all the soft colors of that season in the mind of the viewer. Well done.

Nice diagonal delineation of warm/cool colors and a shallow DOF.

i agree, i think the orange compliments the green much better. the color change is verry smooth and i like the omission of the exrta branches. nice work.

I think the colour change from purple to orange was a good one, the bee now seems to harmonize with the colours around him. Nice focus on his head!

Yup....that'll do. I especially like how you've improved the catch light in the bee's eye.
