This is stunning,can't get over the fact that you did this with your phone,the detailing in the wings is incredible and you could count the little hairs on this bumble. Beautiful exposure and color saturation,great angle and nice tight framing. A fantastic entry for the contest,looks like the winner to me,best wishes to you!

An excellent closeup shot of the bumble bee - love the fluffy bees (we don't have them here) - The texture of the wings is extremely clear and the color appears very natural.

amazing photo...so close up shot...all the veins on the wings are so beautifully captured...the blurred out pink flower is adding very contrast to the image....composition is brilliant...good luck for the contest...

Wow this could not be more perfect. I feel I could stroke that fury body it is so lush. And what amazing detail on the wings I must agree. You did a perfect dimming of the flower, it's there and recognisable without overshadowing the bee and indeed I feel it compliments the overall effect. Well done.

A beautiful macro picture of this American Bumblebee on the centre of your pink Cone Flowers showing remarkable details in it's gossamer wings. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Quite a sharp image with great detail in the hairy back of the bumblebee as well as its wings. The colors are very nice and the composition is excellent.
