Larme

Description

Quand parfois sur ce globe, en sa langueur oisive,
Elle laisse filer une larme furtive,
Un poète pieux, ennemi du sommeil,

Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pâle,
Aux reflets irisés comme un fragment d'opale,
Et la met dans son coeur loin des yeux du soleil.

Charles Baudelaire

An amazing shot, probably what I love the most is the contrast that the sharpness of the water drop creates against the softness of the petals.
Secondly I love how the water drop can contain as much information as the rest of the picture, I get so attached to it that I almost forget about the rest.
Another detail that gets me so much to that water drop is that it is forcing the petal so much that it seem like it is going to fall at any moment, I can almost believe that for staring at it for more 5 seconds I will see it slip, and disappear from the frame.
The lightning and colors are also very good, with the soft green background matching perfectly the sweet rose of the flower, and not forgetting the strong orange in the bottom right corner that keeps calling my eye.
