Wonderful detail and colour. He seems so tiny on that big leaf.

Beautifully, simple composition. Great focus.

The positives -- presentation, framing, interest, colour, background, lighting.
The negatives -- just one - the bug needs to be razor sharp to bring this to the next level. Compare this with the other bee shot and you'll see it is superior in detail and sharpness, but ... this is the better shot because you have somehow avoided the grey cast which bothers me so much in the other photo (you have got your colours maybe less real, but more pleasing ... to my taste.)

Beautifully crisp, perfect exposure to capture the iridescence of the wings.

I am ignoring the title debate in the forums and concentrating on the pictures
have we not seen its near relative before ?
even if we have a good capture but more cropping to rid of the dark baae as it is not needed
