j'aime beaucoup l'immensité et le calme de ce cratère dont le nom "lac céleste" est un ravissement.
I like the vastness and calms of this crater whose name "lake celestial" is beautifull.

Hi Zhongyi,

The point of view leads our eyes toward the edge of the celestial pond. The captur of the wave of the water and the reflections in the it are assets to the composition. There is a good contrast between the colors. Have a nice day.
