Very nice image Eirini. I like the amount of deatil in the flower and insect. Well done.

Looks like you shot this in a pollen storm, Eirini. Very well composed and captured. :toast:

I really like your comp. here, with the flower center in the corner and strong positioning of the insect. The amount and sharpness of the pollen is amazing. It does look like the yellows in the tips of the stigma and a few of the anthers are blown.
