Still macro today. I hope you like it because I have a serie of that!
Thank you all for the comments of the last days, I didn't get the occasion to go on all your galleries but I will. I really like all the "expatriation", the "holidays" you give me with your photos from everywhere on the planet! Thank you for sharing all those wonders!
I like that red spot on the photo. I think it's a larva of some bug but I don't know what it could be... I think I spent 15 minutes above that grass to get the good clearness, I have a lot of photos of it and I sent them all to the trash, except this one, the only one that I didn't miss... But it's also what I like in the photography, the possibility to spend time on details of the daily life, the possibility to feel on another planet, to breath and escape from the stress of the active life. To feel free.
This photo will always remind me all the time I spent on it and that possibility I have (sometimes) to feel free.

nice macro capture!
the drops of clean clear water reminds me of the black rain drops I saw watching a documentary of the effects of the A-bomb dropped on Hiroshima today 62 years ago... those black water drops were radioactive and the people who drank it (because there was no water to drink after the bomb dropped) later died of radioactive poisoning...
looking at your picture i'm thankfuk for clean water to drink and wish that the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would never happen again...

@kairospix: Well, I'm glad that this photo makes you think about nice things. Dramas like Hiroshima or Nagasaki won't happen anymore, we have to believe it, not just hope it. It makes you think about a certain kind of freedom too...
Lovley macro shot, very nice composition.

@stijn: Glad you like it! Yep, it's out of earth, I really felt like that when I was taking those photos.. another planet, I'm glad it has been well traduced by the photo! Thank you!
Tu dois avoir l'impression d'avoir un super-pouvoir genre "Heroes" qui te permet de voir à l'intérieur des plantes... C'est comme ça que je le vois ! C'est très réussi. J'adore la netteté des gouttes et de la larve :)

@Sriram: Thank you!
Wow! these macro shots are amazing Soph! :) I always take lots of pics when using the macro lens, and trash most of them, but what a great feeling it is when you get the one special one :)

@MaryB: yes, it's a great feeling! Spending time to get the ood one is very relaxing to, stopping to breath to not move and catch the photo of an non-usual bug... Really feelings that I like! Thank you for following my gallery and commenting it!
great details!

wow, stunning macro shot, soph! this is definitely very different, very [think] "out of the box" (sorry to use a cliche, but it's true here! *-) ) ...now that's freedom :)
