Thank you for your detail analysis, Paul. It is possible that the bee moved its lower body like it was stinging the flower. Oh, well...next time maybe the bee will be more cooperative. |

Your post processing is very natural looking including your enhanced sky. You might want to color the spaces in the cross as the white doesn't look natural. |

Software sharpening won't fix it. It might make the details too crunchy and unrealistic. Neither would a faster shutter speed because the legs are in sharp focus. In other words, it's not that the bee is moving, it's that the depth of field is a tad too shallow. |

I also just noticed that some of the girl's features have that AI-generated look. For example, her right hand has a huge thumb and her nose has something odd on it. |

Yes, I should have been using a smaller aperture like f/11 or f/16 with a higher ISO to get more of the bee's body in focus considering I was using a 180mm lens. I usually use a 100mm macro lens where an aperture of f/8.0 would likely have been sufficient. |

I like how the two winding vines are placed in front of the dark background. Their prominence seems to be telling a story of the interaction between the two vines. The green vine seems to be overseeing the growth and movement of the white vine. |

Your final image is certainly a much more engaging image than the original. But, using AI is definitely a matter of personal taste. |

The sand pattern is quite unique and well captured. You brought out the patterns and textures beautifully. I find the top white water a bit distracting and wonder if cropping off just a tad of it would help the viewer focus more on the sand patterns. |

The more I look at this portrait of a horse, the more I see. Technically, it is a beautiful portrait; well composed and well lit. Brightening the head and especially the eyes really brings out the character of the horse. But, I also like how the white harness frames the horse's eye and matches the white stripe on the horse's nose. A great capture and well processed image! |

Thanks, Dick. You can't get these intricate droplets with a spray bottle! |

You captured this milkweed with all its fine details exquisitely and were smart to have removed the leaf. I've heard of the f/64 club, but your f/603 aperture is overkill! :-) |

Thank you, Barbara. The image seems to be more about the dew drops than the flower. |

Thanks, Mark. Yes, now that you mention it. The bottom does look like a reflection as if the flower were placed on black glass or a black, plastic sheet. |

What an interesting spiraled flower. The diagonal capture of the flower adds dynamics to the image and complements the spiraling flower. If I were to suggest anything, it would be to darken slightly the highlights on the branch in the background behind the flower. |

I'm always intrigued by the many different ways to portray a flower. Your decision to use in-camera, multiple-exposure would never occur to me. I need to think more outside the box while in the field. I really like the use of the multiple exposure technique on this dahlia. Although I like your final monochrome image, after seeing your colored multiple-exposure version, I like that one a lot more maybe because the red adds such a strong impact. |

You have quite an imagination to see this wilted flower as a ballerina. Don't get me wrong, I do like it as a wabi-sabi image especially the textures in the wilted petals. The subject is sharp with a nicely blurred background. |
