A very beautiful image with these blossoms against the blue sky - so sharp you can see the tiny wings of the bee. My whole street is lined on both sides with mature horse chestnut trees - a splendid sight!greetings, Adele

This is brilliant Mark! Every now and again an opportunity like this happens where you can enhance your shot by a little add on. You captured the flower perfectly and then that bee is just the cherry on the top!Deryck
