very soft and peaceful photo there. I like the way the green of the plant blends in the green of the background. However I think the bumblebee is lacking a bit of details. this is mainly due to the f/2.8. You did a grea job of getting the eye of the bee in great focus, but maybe you could have pushed up to f/6.3-7.1 to get a larger area of sharpness and get a larger area of the head and the antennaes in focus. Also the pic is a bit under-exposed, I don't know if this comes from my screen but I think it would desserve to get a bit more light if you took the picture in .raw you'll have no problem to correct this.

Thanks a lot for your citique! It was really interesting to read and I'm sure it will be helpful.I agree that another aperture would have been better due to the details. Unfortunately the lack of light (and my wobbly position) didn't allow me these useful adjustments. Plus, my windows killed the .raw. Nevertheless I'll keep your critique in mind and pay more attention to that. I think using a disadvantageous aperture is a mistake I still tend to make.
