Spring time
One of my favorite shots. It comes with a funny story – it was photographed in a front garden of a house not far from my home. The lady living in the ground floor encouraged me in taking few shots there, and as I did so, I got chased out five minutes later by the man on the first floor. Luckily, I´ve managed to take few great shots by that time, including this one.

Spring time belongs to the following groups:
1:1 Macro Photography and Insects, Bugs and Creepy CrawliesAvailable for sale as Cards, Matted Prints and Laminated Prints

This is one of my all time favorites of yours :)
Mirka Rueda Ro... in reply to Alison Cornford-Matheson’s comment, 2 months ago
It´s cheerful, isn´t it. My only regret is that it was taken with the D70, so the print size is limited. Otherwise I´d hang it already on my wall :)
Alison Cornfor..., 2 months ago
Oh you could still hang it no problem, especially if you matted and framed it… it would be stunning! I can print it out here for you if you want, but you’ll have to wait until I get back from Canada because I have to stock up on cheap ink cartridges :)

Lovely photo!
I’d try resize and clean up with something like Neat Image… :-)

Beautiful image! Love the contrast of red and purple. I use a D70s for all my photography and my prints will go to 20” x 16” no worries!
