[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This rose is a prayer without words for all the people in the Middle East suffering from yet another war. Reaching out to the surviving as well as to the soals of the dead -

To translate it into words: Many of us are with you, suffering in their hearts. We cannot help you, and that is what makes us even sader. But we can be with you in heart, mind and spirit. We pray for you and for this war to be over as soon as possible. There IS light at the end of this tunnel of war. We can see it and we shall keep the sight of this light up for you until you reach the end of the tunnel to see it again yourselves, too, and to carry it on from there. Until then please never stop believing in it. Many people in the world are with you every day sending you their prayers.

great idea!!!!!
well done!!!!
tfs!

I find very valid the one that you express here
yes in fact we can only pray so that
all this finishes.
This flower symbolizes, me leaning that everything that
this happening, a black side below, and this
shines wonderful above giving a great hope.
Congratulations

Hi Cordelia,
It is a lovely flower photograph...!
Very well done on lighting, as the backlight gives a special effect to the shine-through petals....
Good vivid colours... fine details... well framed!
Greetings,

Compliment on this flower and background

Hi Cordelia, I hope your prayers and your dedication helps. I am sad for the innocents who have to suffer, be injured and/or lose their loved ones. No one can win in wars.

Very well done. Take care, Yan :)

Bravo, Cordelia, for this meaningful post. I join my prayers to yours.
I like the light/dark contrasts here and the composition is superb.

This is a nice Aussie rose with beautiful red.. dark bg and heavy shadows looks great..

Hi Cordelia,
A nice message for people ho desperately need hope. The photo seems kind of crude, which works well in this context. The strong lighting gives the impression there is still light in the darkness.
Well done,
Jako

1.Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn,
2.From the mischief of created things;
3. From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads;
4. From the mischief of those who blow on knots;
5.And from the mischief of the envious one as he practices envy.

Hello Cordelia!

Sorry for the late visit! Too many guys to visit these days !
Better later than never I guess.

About the photo. Superb post very appropriate set up with the light from above and the dark environment. 10/10 from me . About the subject. I am 100% with you. I hope this nonsense will stop very soon.
Sincerely,
Robert
