Bonjour Philippe,
Tu as une belle collection d'images de fleurs dans ta galerie. Je choisis la mauve des bois parce que je sais qu'il est très difficile de photographier les teintes roses et mauves. Et en plus c'est une fleur qui m'est bien familière. Belle présentation,une lumière chaude et une bonne netteté aussi.
J'ai été ravie que tu aimes ma dernière image.
Un grand merci et une belle journée
Anne

Bonjour Philippe,
Bien que la lumiuère soit forte l'image ne me semble pas surexposée et la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs peuvent-être relativement bien appréciées.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard
