I like the slightly muted colors, very good quality Ester.
Nice soft light & sharp details, great BG as well.
I might shave just a bit off the RT side & bottom, my only suggestion.
Well done & have a great weekend! :toast:

Very nicely done, Ester ! Excellent sharpness in the bee, a nice range of textures and tones in the lavendula, and good positioning of the bee in the frame.
