Amazing macro job. Those mustache looks colossal. Prominence of fine details, even with those curvy stamens of the zinnia. A-plus of focus and angle. Well captured and is a strong contender.

Do we ever think of a bumblebee as having a beard. Well, you just proved that they indeed do have beards, and very fuzzy bodies. This is a fantastic upclose and personal photo.

Those eyes are scary upon first glance for the viewer. A very vivid colorful work that inspires and captivates

Nice macro shot to get us up close and personal with this wee little one. I love Macro photography for this very reason - it allows us to see things we normally would not.

Nice tack sharp focus on the most important part of the bee - the eyes. Great definition and detail. Lighting / exposure / color and initial impact all rate A+. Nice job. Kathy

Delightfully creepy. My first thought was of a spider but the body was too thick. Nice color and composition. Of course, super use of macro. Cheers, JR

Aren't bees sometimes scary enough... without seeing one with a beard! Amazing photograph of this bee's face and the stamen below.
