A beautiful flower with very subtle colours, I would have preferred the background to be less obvious but it's still a very nice picture

Now he looks like a tough cookie. A photogenic subject but difficult to keep the details in the black. Well done for the picture and thanks for the very informative note as well.

A nice picture of a honeybee at work. Knowing the scale of these small flowers does show how small the bee is.

Nicely sharp foreground and well blurred background, excellent.

Interesting mixture of colours leading through the picture and down the river bank. I like it

Excellent and somewhat intriguing viewpoint. The lump of rock (?) in the foreground is a little overpowering for the rest of the picture, but it provides the perfect lead in to pull the eye towards the distant scenes

Not sure about black and hairy being cute but the picture is an excellent capture of the bee at work.

A little more detail on the heads and this would be a really good shot. Taking pictures of birds in flight is never easy and you have made a good start here.

Good detailing in the scales, the focus is certainly in the right place and the expression looks very wary of you.

Lizards are often very skittish and you did well to get this although obviously the intervening grass or twig is distracting. Maybe a PS challenge for someone?

How big (or small) was this lizard? I can't help with the ID but that info might help someone else.

What a nice 'minimalist' image.

Maybe clone out the small area beneath the physalis to clean the edge?

I shouldn't worry too much about the oof wingtip, there is plenty of detail in the rest of the picture.

The detail of the hatchery was a little confusing until I read your note, then all became clear and interesting as well.
