This image captures the delicacy and intensity of a lotus with indigo blue petals and a golden heart, in full bloom in Hội An, Vietnam. Captured in close-up, the flower seems to glow against a dark background of green lotus leaves, which bring out its vibrant colours even more.
A symbol of purity, spirituality and rebirth in Asia, the lotus is highlighted here with natural light that reveals every detail: the silky texture of the petals, the fine purple and white veins, and the luminous centre vibrant with yellow. The composition, centred and clear, evokes a moment of calm, almost sacred, as if suspended in time.
The flower seems to float above the water, in full bloom, proud and open to the sky. It embodies the simple yet powerful beauty of Vietnam's tropical nature. A tribute to life, light and the ephemeral elegance of flowers.
