Hi, Marianna... as you have done me the kindness of leaving some smile-making comments on my macros, I have visited your blog and turned each photo with enjoyment. I got to this one and had to comment on its structure and beauty... superlative! I can only hope to develop a talent similar to yours for photographing people and human situations. As much as I enjoyed the photos, I've enjoyed your succinct commentary that appears to be honest without embellishment and straight to the point.

@Earnest: OH, you surprise me with comment on this one :)) I personally do not prefer this one , I have much more pretty macros ...hahahha. Anyway, many thanks for you visit. I really appreciate that !!!
