Bright mornings are always my favorite time to find inspiration around the house. While walking in the garden, my gaze caught a small but intriguing sight: a fly perched on the tip of a young plant stem. At first glance, it might seem unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, its body reflected a beautiful turquoise hue against the soft green leaves.
I immediately grabbed my camera and carefully tried to capture the moment. The slightest movement could send it flying away. Silently, I enjoyed the moment as this tiny creature posed for the lens. The details of its translucent wings, the tiny feet clinging to the delicate stem, and the reflection of light on its body were all captivating.
After achieving the desired result, I made some color and sharpness adjustments using Photoshop Express to bring the contrast and texture to life. For me, editing isn't about changing the authenticity of the moment, but rather emphasizing the natural beauty that already exists.
Through this photo, I learned again that beauty can emerge from simple things, even from a creature as small as a fly on the tip of a stem. The small world around us often holds extraordinary wonders, it's just that we rarely pay attention to them.
