Karen- MY MY Girl. You are a master of the macro. This is such an incredible look. Love the way the plant is almost suspended there and the way you blended the plant and background. Then there is the bee and wow, your foucus was so percise and brought out the gorgeous colors and the fabulous design of the bee. This on will be back.
Beautiful work my friend.
Have a wonderful day, take care. #7795573
