So gorgeous! Have you got this one in colour also? I imagine that would be great too!
micmac replied
I like it in color but the shots I took in b&w was what I was looking for ,something like Marieancolie said that look a little spiritual with a sparkling light.A bird of paradise looks always the same but here I could see some transparence and I liked that effect,maybe later I will post some color shots ,thanks Catherine …x
