A superb capture, Howard, which I felt would benefit from a little noise reduction and slightly more sharpening link. I hope you don't mind.

Kind regards,

Jon

Thank you, gents, for your comments. No problem at all with you enhancing it Jon.

BTW didn't expect to see some many bees about at this time of year.

Excellent shot and a well captured moment. I like it and Jon's PP too. Maybe you should decrease the highlights a bit and the details will come out on the white areas and clone out the halo on the top of picture.
