Molto bella la composizione che sfrutta al meglio le linee dei petali, ottimo POV, buona nitidezza, ottima esposizione con una buona resa di sfumature dei bianchi. Grazie e compolimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Preciosa toma Ena, a pesar de la dificultad en la captura debido a esos difíciles blancos. El color lo veo captado con fidelidad en toda la toma. Interesante encuadre con buena profundidad y enfoque.
