Very good entry for the contest. Excellent close up of this colourful insect pausing for a rest. Very good lighting and focus - I love how you can see all the intricate detail in the gossamer wings. Great composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Fantastic shot - love the clear green color in the background so the insect can stand out in perfection - this is a shot for school books - clear and sharp in details , perfect focus point , excellent contrast and lighting , through the background color this becomes a very harmonious picture as the bee has the same color range - excellent angle and perspective - well framed and well composed , all the best for the contest

I like the way the background color can be seen through the wings. Closer inspection shows slight iridescent green touches on the wingtips. You captured the striking details of its segmented body.

A very nice image. I like the colors and the great cropping. The detail in the fly is very good; I especially like the veins in the wings. Best of luck in the contest.

Fabulous entry for the contest, I think this hover fly is beautifully photographed with exceptional detail and clarity. I do like how it matches the soft yellow background really making the wing detail standout! Clear,
Excellent and well trained macro image! Best wishes in the competition!
Wish I had a six!

The bee is well captured and well placed in the frame. The photo is sharp showing well defined details. The softness of the background and the white balance were handled well to highlight the bee. For a hand held shot focus is excellent also.

Looks like a very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and off-centre composition gives us an enjoyable look at your insect. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
