Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Sensuel et troublant.J'adore les petits traits fins qui partent du coeur de la fleur et qui viennent troubler sa virginale blancheur...
Au fait quand je parlais "d'ambiance polar" l'autre jour le ne voulais pas dire "polarisateur" mais "policier", l'expression "un bon polar" par exemple veut dire "un bon livre ou un bon film policier". Je pensais que cette expression existait aussi au Québec... :-)

@Evelyne Dubos: Comme ton commentaire est beau, pour ce qui de l'ambiance polar, elle existe fort possiblement au Quebec, c'est plutot mon ignorance qui est en jeu, merci beaucoup j'adore apprendre de nouveaux mots ou expressions :)
@Ian Bramham: Thanks so much Ian :)
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
Je ne vois pas cette image comme une photo d'une fleur. C'est plutôt un image abstraite de nuances de blanc, avec une bonne composition.

@António Pires: Quel commentaire poetique, merci beaucoup Antonio :)
@Porcsin: Hey hi Porcsin, thanks a lot :)

Cool framing. It, being shades of white, really works well inside those boundaries.
