greetings from the critique club

Welcome to DPC. I see this is your first entry and hope that it is the first of many. This is a great learning spot for digital photography.

You asked for a critique of your first entry and I'm the member of the Critique Club that has drawn it from the queue. So, here goes:

Your two comments tell most of the story. The bee was a good find, but the technicals needed help. Unfortunately, the bee didn't stick around for you to get more than one shot. My suggestion for good outdoor images, is to practice, and more practice. For example: you might try shooting with a lower ISO and aperture in the neighborhood of F2.8 to F6.3 for practice close-ups in the garden. Your composition is pretty good with the bee in a 'rule of thirds' spot, but the image is, overall, a tad out of focus and very hot.

I do look forward to seeing more of your work. Good luck.

Alice

A lot of CA here (Chromatic Aberration) here. Pity about the blown out areas.

Lovely insect! Stem he's on is overbright/overwhelming.
