Another shot of great beauty, stunning in its color, composition, and detail! I love the many different blossoms standing straight and tall in various stages of blooming. I like the two open blossoms on the right, one showing signs that its petals will soon start to fall. Further to the left a very tall stem gives witness that its glory days are behind it, yet it stands straight and proud nonetheless. I am fascinated by the inside of lotus flowers. They seem so solid and often look artificial. I like the group of buds on the far left. They look like an audience standing to greet a speaker. Excellent POV with the blossoms leading the eye from their area of dominance to the beautiful mountains in the distance. I love the detail, shape and shading of the leaves in the front. Very interesting information and gorgeous image! Un altro colpo di grande bellezza, splendida nel suo colore, la composizione e dettaglio! Io amo i fiori di molteplici dritto in piedi e lungo in varie fasi della fioritura. Mi piacciono i due fiori aperti a destra, una che mostra i segni che i suoi petali presto comincerà a calare. Più a sinistra un gambo molto alto testimonia che i suoi giorni di gloria sono alle spalle, eppure sta dritto e fiero comunque. Mi affascina l'interno di fiori di loto. Esse sembrano così solidi e spesso un aspetto artificiale. Mi piace il gruppo di gemme all'estrema sinistra. Sembrano un pubblico in piedi per salutare un altoparlante. Ottimo POV con i fiori porta l'occhio dalla loro area di posizione dominante per le belle montagne in lontananza. Mi piace il dettaglio, la forma e l'ombreggiatura delle foglie nella parte anteriore. Molto interessanti informazioni e immagini bellissime!
