I don't usually set out to take bee photos, but I thought I would try since I could shoot from my back porch. Light was fairly flat.

Nice DOF and good details. Colors all work well too but you may want to try and boost the contrast or adjust the curves as the image looks a touch flat.

Nice detail! complimentary colours and nice DOF, as well as POV.
