Ah, Cleo this is so beautiful! The lighting you have captured here really magnify the form and romance of the bloom. Great composition. Does it have a sweet scent, because that is what I imagine when I see it, strolling through the night garden and the air filled with the sweet scent as my fella gives me a secret kiss.

Thank you. I like your idea of the sweet scent and the secrete kiss but unfortunately I can't smell anything. Maybe the insects do but I think the flowers are attracting them with their moonlight like glow in the green of the jungle.

Ooh this is lovely. I love the fact that its back lit, and give that line to the shape of the leaf. All the detail in this is great. Good use of the rule of thirds. Very nice.

I have no idea what this flower is, but I do know it's a cracking photo of it. I love the composition and the colour and detail. The long trumpet shape is perfectly shown and would have been lost from any other angle.
thanks for sharing.

This is awesome the way you have taken it. The flower is beautiful. I like the way you have the leaves in the picture too. The black background is great on this. An excellent picture in every way. Good luck in the contest.
