représentation, contexte, ou mieux en fait "en situation"


Explanation:
si j'ai bien lu c'est une photo qui donne une idée générale du travail fait alors tout bien pesé "en situation" ou simplement une représentation (résultat, image) révélateur ou trice, serait plutôt ça à mon sens... le background ici mesemble plutôt un exemple révélateur, parlant qu'un contexte... up to you my dear to mix it all.. would be tempted to say as I jokingly often do "with a gun on my head this is what I would say" but the other day a peer answered me that (sic) "I would well deserve the consequences" so getting shy about this expression though wat I mean is I would go ahead merrily with this can't spend one's life over one phrase!!! :-) (still on confidence strike)
