J'aime les detailes dans la fleur et les "cheveux". La lumiere viens d'une angle unique et je pense que c'est pourquoi cette image regard different comparé a les autres images des fleurs. (Desolé, mon francais n'est pas parfait) :)
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Churchill
"To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
