I love the busy bees especially if they choose colorful bloom to pollinate. You were ready and captured the moment just right. An excellent contest entry!

I think this is a great entry to the contest. The bee's colors greatly contrast against the pink background. Focus and clarity are excellent, showing good detail of the bee's body hair. Good luck in the contest.

This contemporary macro photography is outstanding, with the vivid colors and your super capture of the bee at work with his prey scattered yet nearby. Best wishes in the contest indeed!

Think if the dof had just been a tad bigger this would have been worth more[difficult i know] and the pink flower is a tad bright but its still a good one for this contest...Brian

A very beautiful photo presented here. This busy bee. Nestled within the beautiful, fuchsia colored petals is simply amazing. Your composition and angle captures this moment perfectly. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

It's a great capture. Bees are great subjects for macro photography. However I feel the pink is to bright and over takes the subject. The bee itself seems slightly out of focus. I would tone down the pink a bit, blur it and leave the color of the bee alone. That way the bee would stand out more. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

a true macro with excellent sharp details of the bee collecting pollen; a likely winner of the "macro photography contest"; good luck!.......

Jack,
A beautiful picture of the worker Bombus Impatients with her pollen baskets bulging with pollen. The light sparkling in her eyes & glistening on her gossamer wings while highlighting her throax abdomen & legs so she stands out from the magenta flower she's alighted upon. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan
