A little sunshine for Friday. Don't know the name of it. It was humongous though. About 10 inches across.

Hope you don't mind what is to follow, Carol.

Call it, the product of a feverish mind at present (got the flu here).

So..

First and foremost, really nice colour. Natural. And you handled the exposure well, too. Good good details throughout.

Now then, the feverish part?

Downloaded your image here, and for the most part.. did a crop. To change the presentation. Here are the results for your consideration:

Sunshine - Rotated/Cropped (with some additional/minor post processing.)

Doesn't show off the entire lovely bloom as you have presented to us.. just some creative food for thought.


Caveats?

A lil'.. closer.

In my humble opinion, of course.

That said..


Clarity and focus are good good.

And as mentioned, the colours look very natural (nicely saturated.. and in particular, the red(s) turned out well).

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I love yellow flowers, hibiscus is one of my favorite flowers... That combination - yellow hibiscus fascinates me!
11 years ago, had the largest and most abundant species such as hibiscus in Bulgaria - unfortunately so happened that all my hibiscus died.
