Hand full of Beauty and elegance. Cara this is truly stunning. You have knocked my socks off for over 6 yrs now and you continue to amaze me.
I love the clarity and colors on the gorgeous hibiscus.
The lovely hands reaching in holding the flower along with the background are truly lovely.
This belongs in an art gallery for people to view and get lost in.
I love your work as much as I love you!
You Put the C in class Woman!

What a nice concept and it looks like you found a lovely hand model!! I like how you have created an almost glowing effect to the center of the hibiscus. The stigma and stamen look wonderful.

I like the concept. I also like the blushed out background. This is a good perspective because it shows how big hibiscus flowers are. Nice composition. Well framed. I love hibiscus. This would have been a good entry into the Flower Photo contest. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

Hi Annie thanks for sharing this beautiful photo of the hibiscus flower softly resting on the graceful palm. Your photo has a supreme feeling of peace and tranquility emanating from within. The strong pink tone of the flower against the rich green leaves is a striking contrast and draws the eye into the scene. I love the idea of the hands gently cupped around the flower.. They add that bonding of people and nature co -existing together in a peaceful way. The pastel pink hues bordering the flower create a perfect blend of texture and harmony to your photo. They compliment the rich boldness of the flower and petals and are truly appealing to the eye .. They also give the photo a feeling of softness.. the blending of nature, humanity, where all is peaceful and calm. If the world could be like the emotion your photo carries, what a wonderful place it would be. The creamy border around the picture is perfect and frames the subject well . thanks for sharing this joyous photo.. a true pleasure to review. cheers mel

Beautiful and artistically
Very creative photography.
I love the hibiscus flower, it is the perfect subject to hold in your hands with its large and delicate bloom. The details are wonderful and the hands are nice a soft. Colors are gorgeous, this is wonderful post editing and a beautiful creation.

Great initial impact and nice to look at photograph of a hibiscus. The flower is nicely placed in the hand with some of the leaves coming off the fingers. Nice soft focus and well presented photo.

That is a beautiful flower. My mom loves this flower. Nice coloring. It looks like this was done in colored pencil instead of a photo. Nice background and cropping. Thanks for sharing.
