Hi Ulla

Lovely composition with great detail. The bee is an excellent addition.

These plants were introduced to the UK in the C19th and have become a real pest on the S and W coasts - so much so that a couple of months ago it was made illegal to buy, sell or plant them.

A beautiful flower with exceptional colors. Fine details with the bee as a bonus. The lighting is wonderful. This is such a cheerful sight on a grey day.

Hello Ulla!
I love your DOF here!
Very fresh fine colors, the green and the pink is so good together.
Very sharp and a lot of fine details are visible, the bee (?) is also a fine attraction here. Good vertical composition.
Still a few months until I can take that kind of pictures up here, but on my trip to the Canary Isles in a month I hope to see something like this...
Well done!
Regards, Jon.

Merhaba Ulla, it is always a pleasure, seeing a Carpobrotus flower in full bloom among those succulent leaves, but this one also has a bee in the middle! Very "sunny" close-up in fine focus and plenty of detail, my friend, thank you indeed for this heart-warming composition.
Yours,
Mehmet

This bee looks like it is drowning in the flower - or it's drunk from the pollen!!
Good capture Ulla, and the pink flower reminds me of Ice flowers - yes, I've now read your notes - it's an Ice plant.
