Bees and Wasps

The color scheme you were able to achieve with this is visually stunning! The way you were able to go against the rule of thirds and still come up with a compositionally strong piece is brilliant! I love the simplicity. Well done!

This photo is compositionally stunning, and the clarity you were able to get in the foreground, with the blurring of the background, is exceptional. This is one of the only photos that I saw that made me smile. Well done!

The detail you’ve captured in this photograph is amazing. Being able to see every hair and follicle on the wasp blows my mind. I also loved the background on this one. It’s a perfect mixture of texture and blur. Very well done.

This photograph is exceptional! The lighting is brilliant and the way you’ve captured the glowing silhouette is absolutely gorgeous. The flower is unique as well. As soon as I saw this, I knew it would be my #1. Thank you for sharing! Amazing work.

I have personally never seen a wasp that looks like this, and it caught my eye right away. I love the rhythm you’ve captured in the background as well. The streakiness you've got in the background makes my eye zoom around the image. Well done!

The complementary colors colors that you were able to achieve with this piece is beautiful and so eye catching! The clarity you’ve captured is marvelous as well. Rhythmically, my eye is able to move around the entire image without getting stuck on a particular spot. Well done!

I love the fine detail in this piece. Being able to see the tiny hairs on the bee and on the flower stem is lovely and the dark background was a great choice to really make the subject matter pop. Well done.

The thing that drew me most to this piece was the black and white mixed with little pops of color. I don’t see many photos like this, and this is the only one of its kind in this competition. Very well done!

The composition of this piece is so unique. I love the unique aloe flowers and the color scheme. I'm amazed at how you were able to capture this image, especially since one of your hashtags says "phobia." I, too, have a phobia of bees and wasps.

The color scheme is wonderful and the blurred background really makes the foreground pop. It’s a very clear and crisp shot, which is what drew me to the piece. I love the unique flower as well. You've done a great job!
