Pretty in Pink

Spent the morning gently faffing with peony petals and then along came a little hoverfly. My one and only insect shot of the whole project!

Well its beautiful focused in mid air! The pink is quite lovely as a background!

So beautiful, fabulous capture

[Jesika]

Nicely done faffing. Isn't that a wonderfully descriptive word?

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie but he's actually zipping along on the inside of the petal. It probably only shows up properly on a computer screen. No way could I have got him in mid air!!

Great catch. It's probably not very manly but I like the soft pink background :)

Gorgeous. Love the softness of the peonies, then the great focus on the overfly.

So pretty and delicate :)

[Wendy]

So sweet amongst the flowers. Your dof and lighting is magical for her,
This shot would work well for the eye of the beholder challenge! You should tag it for that one.

The insect is very vivid against the soft pink.
