The image is taken on the mountain . There is an old emplacement remain from the war . The emplacement is made from stones from the mountain to day is half-destroyed and some of the stones are down . In one of these stones i found this little guy to come of the natural holes of the stone . I hope u don't mind the little story .

Interesting info Kostas. Love the way nature fights back. Lovely greens contrasted against the reds.
Make your life spectacular!

Interesting background story, great title and beautifully composed and taken image!  I think that now the machine gun has gone from the gun emplacement we don't have to be afraid of being shot by this little plant, Kostas.  :)

A very well constructed composition, an image that reveals how Nature repairs and heals everything.

I really like your story, and the story that this brave little plant tells, growing out of a seemingly impossible crack in the stones. It looks so bright and green in contrast. Lovely, Kostas.

Lots to like in this one: top down view, sharpness (you used F22), stone patterns/holes, composition and color contrast. Great image!

Life goes on despite human conflict.

I like the composition , the textural details and the story context.
