Not a flower we see everyday and it looks like a really unique one at that. I agree that you did a great job of capturing the detail on the blossom and the insect so clearly. It stands out very well here too.

Thanks Heather. They are very common and blossom everywhere in the country so the challenge of doing a better shot is a real pleasure.

Debra Plett

The soft dark background really makes the flower stand out. And of course the insect is well positioned within the flower. I think you did a very nice job hee Yves.

Yves Langlois

Thank you very much Debra.

Jane LeBlanc

Yves Langlois

Thank you so much Jane.

Description
Chicory flower with a tiny insect on it. The chicory flower is one of those flower that I love the beautyness but I find it very difficult to translate that beautyness into a photo.
