A very nice shot of this beautiful blooming plant. The lighting is good and the colors are excellent. I like the way they stand out from the background.

look like fuzzy wuzzy flowers..lol. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the unusual shape flowers is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer.

Mary,
A beautiful picture of the Red Bottle Brush in bloom with the sun shining from behind giving the flowers a glow & making them stand out in three dimensions from their background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. You find them growing in some gardens in Ireland too.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Vibrant & striking red subjects against a bright yellow green backdrop down to a deeper green adding depth to this composition.
An interesting initial impact.
Subdued lighting! Compact framing. Diffused focusing.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Thanks for sharing...
