Hearts in Queue, by Abhijit Bhowmick

I was strolling in the garden of Westin Prince Hotel, Toronto, when I spotted these lovely bleeding hearts flower plant. There was breeze and bit of low light which was a challenge for me, however after repeated attempts and some patience I was able to shoot it. I used my 150mm Sigma macro lens to get a great DoF.There were so many of them hanging in a queue, reminded me of my college days when lots of hearts would queue in order to get love, but love is won as this one have won mine.
