A sign of life in the arid mountains of the Ardèche department. More to the North, these mountains become less Mediterranean and more wooded.
Thanks for your critiques, comments and suggestions.

Un signe de vie dans l’aride montagne ardéchoise. Il est à noter que, plus on monte vers le nord, plus cette montagne perd son caractère méditerranéen et devient boisée.
Merci de vos critiques, commentaires et suggestions.

Een teken van leven in de dorre bergen van de Ardèche. Meer naar het noorden verliest dat gebergte zijn mediterrane karakter en oogt het beboster.
Dank voor uw kritiek, commentaar en suggesties.

Jaja, "Life on Mars" en dan in de eerste Engelse zin er nog "Arid" tegenaan gooien ook, het lijkt wel reclame, Erik!
Goed, maar weer serieus dan: mooi, kerel. De bloem haarscherp en prachtig gedetailleerd qua kleur, de achtergrond wazig maar toch heel goed herkenbaar.
Zeker, voor mij althans, een van je betere. Ook door de simpliciteit (en dat is zeker niet neerbuigend bedoeld, integendeel). Een textbook illustratie van het kiss regeltje.
Chapeau.

Hi, Erik!

Simple but beautiful composition and colours and sharpness. Effective and nice. I like it!

I like your perspective in your composition.
Focus is great.
You created an excellent title of this photo.

Superbe mise en relief de cette fleur au premier plan ! La composition est très belle avec une profondeur de champ impressionnante ! Très bien vu et bien fait !

Hi Erik,

Beautiful colors and POV. I love the title!! The focus in the foreground and the blurred background makes a great look.

regards,
Christian
