Artist's Comments

Cropped a few petals off and sharpened slightly, thats all! Should be another shot from my stalking of this bee, I think it might be Augochloropsis metallica or from the same genus.

Critiques


:icondaxserv:
Without a doubt most seems pretty spot on with this shot, the loss of focus all around forms a perfect ring capturing the tremendous detail, held from the head of the insect through to the pollen held errect in presentation by the stamen, eyes precisely watching, antanea infused with the lucious nectar. However the crop, leaving the grey boarders either side seems a little iresponsible, from the presentation point of view. Overall the whole deserves a 8+ from 10, using the words 'exceptional' as a descriptive lead, 'exciting' as content managment, followed by 'satisfaction' as an 'after flavour' Definately worthy of a FAV.

This is one of best macro shot that I've ever seen.

The focus is drawn right on the insect...his head is so clear and I can see every detail... this capture is incredible, I love the blur of the petals...make me feel the spring, it's really suggestive! I truly love the contrast between yellow and green, are two colors full of energy and this is give to the picture very intensity.



The composition is amazing, you have made a wonderful work, I think that I can't say more about this shot because it speaks for itself...the beauty of nature is contained in this photo.

I was wondering if you could possibly critique this, especially since you're good at macro and I'm really interested in the line. :nod:
