Oi Raimundo

linda flor, e como sempre, capturada com muita delicadeza e desvelo... somente percebi que era orquídea pelo talo, ao menos imagino isso..
finissimos detalhes nas pétalas..

abraços.

Taba

Bonjour Raimundo,
Superbe macro finement détaillée et délicatement colorée avec une bonne opposition sur l'arrière plan.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles avantures.
