All that wonderful scattered light is gorgeous! The soft pinks are beautiful and the flowers provide a great sense of place. The bee is a beautiful point of interest. Very nice work.

Fabio,

What a beautiful and colorful shot! I really like the ambience you have created. You have achieved an amazing image without using a tripod. Great Work!
