[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"MARTZISHOR" in Romanian means "Little March" and is the way in which in Romania we celebrate the arrival of the Spring at 1 March
Every year the festive day of March 1 brings back to us renewed hopes, confidence, faith in good fortune and a prosperous life. It is life, spring and the shining sun which win the battle against winter.
This triumph of rebirth and regeneration could not be better embodied but in the Martisor ( a trinket, March amulet) offered to loved ones in early spring.
The white and red thread of this amulet used to exchange among themselves was believed to bring good luck, good health.

The Martisor is offered early morning on the first day of March. Instead of the real Martzishor I offer you this flower - i n Italy where I actually live there is no such custom.

What fun!
We both have pictures of the same flower today.
I like your tight PoV.
I think a bit more contrast might have made it stronger as an image
