It's not the most popular color by any means, red is, but this golden colored bougenvilla is a bit unuaual and this will be one of the last blooms for this year. They really like it hot. Enjoy and thanks for stopping in. Anita
I'm sure you know what they are because I never heard of them. They are an unusual color. I like earthtones anyway, so this works well for me. Nicely done.

A beautiful combination of colors & they stand out so nicely against the grayish background. Perfect composition Anita ... a wonderful post & thanks for sharing the last blooms of summer.
Wonderful dof in this image, Anita. I like the frame color which makes the background look light purple instead of gray. That front bloom is staring us down and is the centerpiece of this creation. Thanks.
How lovely it is when unexpected blessings come into my life to cheer me up and put a smile into my heart. Help me to pass them on, dear Lord. Fay Angus
Now this works. The bouganvilla bloom is nice and sharp, the contrast of color between the yellowish orange and the grey background is good. The bg is well blurred. The only thing I might want different is a bit more blurring in the stem below - or even to have it greyed out completely like the rest of the background for a real snap effect. anne :-)
Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
We had a huge red bougainvilla bush, but I got tired of it ambushing me with its sharp needles every time I walked by! Man, they are deadly. It became a case of "it or me," and I won. That spot is now occupied with something more human-friendly.
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.

I really like this Anita. The petals look like leaves to me in a way with their coloring and shape. This is a great capture of these flowers and your DOF is just amazing in this. Excellent work.
