Hey! Bird #9 flew the coup! What's up with that? LOL. This is a beautiful foofy in it's place, though. I love the colors and the lighting. Well done, Sandi.

I will tell you a secret, dear SAS.
The hibiscus in Polish is 'malwa' !!!
Lovely, indeed. Cannot wait for them any minute longer !!! gggrrr
My weekend will be a horror story with myself as a leading lady ... dripping blood and sweat [plus tears] LOL
This is how I will pay for tonight's prolonged stay on Caedes.
But tonight was quite special until now:
1. quarrel [most fierce] with SALEE [Cindy] about Pat's flower ... [sic!] - LOL
2. catching up with a few images from my friends
Yours SAM

Quite a nice variety of plants and flowers in this garden. Such a pretty multi-colored hibiscus too.

Wonderful and have a good weekend.

First and foremost, you did a good good job on capturing the 'look' and 'feel' of a sunny day in and amongst a garden. Exposure is fine.

Light peeking into the nooks and crannies and illuminating the beautiful blooms here and there.

Now then..


Couldn't help myself.. have a look.

Which segues to the caveats part.. that being, to my eyes and mind ... just a tad too much negative space (kind of, sort of) in the right and lower right.

The one dominant flower, the hibiscus, seemed to get lost a lil' bit on the note of it's placement within frame/composition.

The crop performed is probably tight, however, and as much as I like the touch of blue in the upper left (which you could Burn down, using just that.. the Burn tool) ... was a slight distraction.

Anyways, just some creative food for thought in the above for you.

Nothing more.. nothing ... erhm, 'les's.

:oP


Enjoy your weekend as well. :o)

The Hibiscus is one of my favourite flowers, and this is a lovely image of this one. I like the way the sunlight plays on some of the leaves and petals. Well done!

I love hibiscus and this has most unusual markings - the dappled light is nice as well.

The shadows and lighting really add to the capture of this lovely flower...was going to mention that bit of blue flower in the top corner is a tad distracting but I see Les beat me to it with his version.

I really like this, I think it's gorgeous but I'm a well trained eye. Love the contrast & lighting.

It's a lovely composition Sandi!...the 'negative' space to my eye adds to the overall beauty of it!

Just...."PURFICK"!!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Sandi - The dappled sunlight and varied shades of green surrounding this hibiscus makes a very fine foofy posting - especially on a cold winter day! Thad
