Wonderful fragrant subject - I love the frangepani. This is a delightful shot with so many blooms close together. I would be tempted to crop it a bit closer. Also white is such a tricky colour to photograph, but I think that you are losing some of the detail here and might drop the exposure a fraction. The detail is in fact there - you can bring it out by decreasing the brightness of the hightlights in photoshop.

If white is really white...haha great shot.
Nice that the flowers have that tender yellow hart, it makes them glow.
I wonder if that flowers have a sweet smell too.

Very pretty.. Nice clear image..

I agree with Steb as far as exposure, but just boosting the contrast should help. The white bloosoms against all that rich green really does make for a beautiful photo.

Thanks for all ure comments. I am glad some others find this an interesting foto like I did.

Very pretty, excellent shot..

paul, it does have a sweet smell.

Hey Deepak,
Great shot of these flowers. The colours are soo rich and crisp. I have the same plant but it only has 3 or 4 flowers at a time when it blooms. I believe it's native to Hawaii, but I could be wrong..............John

i wish my photos came out as well as this
very nice!
instantly added to my faves

Beautiful Image Deepak.
I like the cropping just the way it is. Any cropping would have changed the symmetry and degraded the image. The one and only thing that bothers me are the two dissociated white blobs. They be can't associate with anything else in the image and therefore they add no value.

I saved a copy to my hard drive and removed them and then compared the two images and, well if you do it and I think you will find the entire image benefits. As it is now ones eyes gravitate right to the white spots.

If it hadn't been for them I would have given the image a 10. In my mind the difference between a 9 and 10 all rests with the small details.
I gave it a 9 and placed the edited version on my desktop for this upcoming week. I hope you don't mind me having edited it. If you do I will remove it immediately!


The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling; “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.

Hey Mike,
Thx for ure comments on the picture. I don't really like editing fotos unless there is something that doesn't belong in the frame. I see the floewers as a family and don't wanna seperate them. You are more than welcome to edit the foto and make ure own version, That is the benefit of this site in my opinion.
Again thanx for the nice comments.

I don't know about cropping it aye. I actually like the composition of this shot. Sometimes I get a bit sick of all these pics where the whole shot is the bunch of flowers. Sometimes it works but in this instance I think its just nice to keep the flowers in context. Anyway....i really like the contrast here of the white on green. Its really stands out.

i love this shot! it is so beautyful and inviting.
nicely done.

nice shot. here in hawaii these flowers are known as Plumerias.

Great shot. perfect...

Beautiful clarity. The softness of the flowers against the sharp green of the leaves is gorgeous. This is really an inviting image. Well done!

I really love this shot. It is dramatic and vivid and just wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing it!

Beautiful solid and clear image. I love it.

Wow, cool pic.

I made a mistake and set this one as a wallpaper of my office computer. It makes me nearly breathless every time I see it (about 100 times per day!) and I cannot even change it, it's too hypnotic. A longish way to say this is no less than perfect.
