Non esiste qualcosa di più facile o di più difficile (o meglio esistono oggettivamente), ma ogni cosa deve essere affrontata in modo adeguato. Spettacolare macro, eccellente POV, ottima definizione in relazione al rapporto d'ingrandimento, splendidi i colori, un'immagine di grande impatto visivo. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio
