Time well spent

Wonderful Mark--Nice to record our Keystone species at work-Fantastic Capture

Excellent shot! Nice and vibrant. The blurred background really makes the subjects stand out.

Beautiful capture AND edit!!

Spectacular capture Mark; such amazing detail and wonderful depth control- enjoyed! :-)))

This poppy is in great need of the Bee. Lots of pollen and just opened. Superb Capture friend.

PRO+

this is a beautiful capture Mark. I get a lot of images in my own garden - but never miss a chance to go to one of my favorite nurseries to capture some of the more exotic flowers - Photo OPs everywhere - but always pays to explore our own gardens first :) excellent timing for this magnificent shot!

Awesome Mark!! This is a great shot!! :)
