    Fabs, I know how difficult bees can be, but you did an excellent job with this one! Nice sharp details on the bee with the wing blur showing his motion. The colors and BG flowers are just awesome. Big congrats!

    Hi Fabs,
    I think in this case the BG is just as important as the main subject.......w/o the flowers in the BG.....I feel the bee (10 on the difficulty scale)......wouldn't be as impressive as it is here......and no clipped flowers either! Maybe a bit off center would be preferable......but I'll take it!....as the flowers form an additional compositional flow.

    The bee and the flowers are perfect together. I myself would probably clone out the one stalk just to the left of the bee at the bottom of the frame...it's really competing with the focal point IMO. Everything else is "fab-u-lous!"

    I really like the feel of this image, Fabs - the sharpness of the bee's face, the abstractness of the flowers, and the clean green of the background. The only thing I might change is removing the one stalk to the left of the bee (as Julie suggested above).
