Beautiful profile, but a little tight in the frame for me and the highlight i the background is a bit distracting.

Good detail, the pollen is visible :)
I would go back a tiny weenie bit in the sharpening :)

Great job!

Love the close, in-your-face, look with this one and personally like the framing as is. As mentioned the background is a little off but I think only the part in front of the head is and rather like the the rest of the coloring.

I don't know Stuart this one bugs me! I hope you don't view this as a stinging criticism. Alright, I'll stop with the puns now!

I like this image, but agree that the highlight in the upper left is a distraction. Nicely capture.
