focus is spot on...just needs a little more punch in the levels, but good macro work overall...

The colors and combosition are great. Great work with the sharp details of the parts in focus but IMO the DOF is to short. The image is a complex combination of in and out of focus parts. A deeper DOF would have rendered more of the interesting parts of the flower in focus as well as the more of the bee.
