Very nice backlighted flower Giangiorgio! TFS!

Excellent focus, very good sharpness and light.  

A really beautiful result with impressive lighting, colors and details, Giangiorgio!

Impressive,more so when viewed large as you suggest.The backlit beauty really shows up good against that dark background.With all the snow we have on the ground here,we are a long time away from enjoying this kind of feast for the eyes.Bravo for this excellent work!

Meilleures salutations-Laurent

The lighting of this picture is beautiful, Giangiorgio.  The backlight makes the flowers have an intense color, gives transparency to the petals, and outlines the stems wit a wonderful shine. Nice work!

Kind Regards,

Rosario.

Caspita: anche con i fiori sei un maestro!
