Great idea/compostion, maybe a little oof though.

very nice, ceative idea... but just a tiny bit oof

oof=out of focus: It's really hard to tell without a high res version. The one available is not much bigger than what I'm looking at now. Hope it doesn't break contest rules.

oof!!.....for a macro shot of this nature, I think this is pretty well shot. it could be construed as 'soft' as opposed to oof! And, I always thought the Hi Res was an 'option' in these contests! Try judging the photo on the visible artistic and technical merits rather than slamming it for not having a Hi Res version.

Great shot! Agree with Adeincyprus

Fun shot! Looks great!

Nice

nice take on the theme

different, nicely done...

I this it's lacking some orange. A crop on the right would have helped this shot

lovely photograph.

Thanks Jawshoewhah - I didn't do any post processing with this but prhaps it could do with a bit of a colour boost. If I cropped it the flower would be right in the middle.... rule of thirds

Thanks friiskiwi - you are a treasure

great

It seems more red than orange.

Lovely, vibrant color...nicely done, and the small bee is good too

Lovely

Stunning colour combiantion and nice dof.

Very well done author.
