Salutare Horia,
m-am gindit sa te "sprijin" un pic la capitolul punctulete ca Mariana ... te-a cam depasit astazi. Splendida captura cu acest BG de top. Contrastul culorilor este exceptional.

O zi frumoasa,
Adrian

Ciao Horia. Il dettaglio sulle nervature delle ali si rivela eccezionale! La farfalla spicca magnificamante sullo sfondo sfocato. Davvero una grade macro.

Buna Horia

Ce delicat si ce frumos!
Asta e un anume gen de macro-uri care mie imi plac enorm: un subiect impecabil de clar prezentat dar care sa nu ocupe mult in cadru, dar cu toate acestea sa fie singurul element care atrage atentia.
E un lucru foarte dificil de realizat, de fapt, dar tu ai reusit exact asta aici.
O fotografie excelena, cu o lumina foarte buna si foarte bine contolata, cu o adancime super si cu o compozitie la fel de delicata ca subiectul prezentat.

Bravo si un weekend cat mai placut
Horia

Hi Horia,
Poetry captured digitally! this is really nice and too me has a strong appeal. Very tranquil moment for the viewer. Well done.
Paul :)

Hello Horia,
