I WISH....................................
Yes I wish this was mine, butthis way to good for me, re the talanted photographer who has taken it, but I put my name on it any day. Yes, a perfect composition re a sherpet way she looks at floral and natures plants re close up, tight crop, with detail, color and texture, but the BONUS is the BEE..... Something I neven quite been lucky to capture as beautiful as this so in that way this is a wonderful image in the sherpet style compined with the photopgrapher in a balance of perfect harmony..... THANK YOU

Terrific detail. So difficult to do, 'cause those little buggers just don't hold still fi long. I really like the tones in the green and mauve petals of the thistle.
