Hello Josep Ignasi.
What a great shot! The interaction of the light with the spiky petals, and the whole flower offset against the blurry b/g makes this a lovely presentation!

Bonjour Josep,
Très belle macro valorisant bien le sujet par l'appréciation de la finesse de ses détails et de la délicatesse des couleurs mais malheureusement amputée dans sa partie inférieure par un cadrage trop serré.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
