The last post of this same flower was before it was in full bloom. This one was also taken after dark. I thought it was interesting and hope you enjoy seeing it. Thanks for coming by and I appreciate all of you. Anita

I love these flowers. They rank of there with roses and orchids as some of the prettiest in the world. Excellent composition and lighting, not to mention the clarity. Kudos
Oh...this is lovely. I like the background and how beautifully it shows off the flowers and leaves. Very, very attractive. The lighting and illumination of the yellow pedals is awesome. Nicely done.

EXCELLENT CAPTURE !!! Great focus, color and DOP control Anita.
This is a real keeper and a 10 in the voting booth for sure.
Well Done and thanks for sharing, Don
Gorgeous, Anita! I really like the lighting and the color of this bougainvilla is very unusual. Excellent clarity, and the blurred blue background really brings out the delicate colors of the flower. This is a keeper, for sure.
Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

It looks lovely against the dark blue background Anita! I don't know this plant but it has an autumn look to it, like Christmas is drawing in. Very pretty and lovely photograph! Patti

you did a very impressive job in presenting this in this way. the plant and the surrounding green are perfectly clear. the soft background sets if off well. jen
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

This is a lovely bouquet! The colors are soft and warm and those leaves are so satiny. The background blur of blue really contrast well and makes the flowers stand out even more. This is very well done!
