Hi Deb!
Your presentation of these 'Mango Tango' blossoms makes for an attractive Floral Image,my friend!
The Orange/Yellow against Deep Green' coloration of the scene ( which reminds me of the paint job on a friend's 'Modified Stock Car' back in the day! : D ) is especially attractive!
a 'Good Show' once again!

Comment from nawshad
Beautiful. Striking yellowish orange against darker green makes it eye catching. Well detailed, contrast is well balanced. Nice one.

Comment from Envision
I really like the sharpness and how the flowers just jump off the page. Really nice color saturation. The angle is perfect.

Comment from nature rules
Ok... These colors are some of the most difficult to control in saturation But you have accomplished it ! Kudos to you! Your greens are rich and show the textures and possibly waxiness (?) of your leaves. I can't tell if they are azalea like or magnolia like..
Your framing is perfection...with the movement of the flowers from lower corner diagonal to upper corner. Sweet!
Your clarity is good..with detail showing nicely in your centers. I like the splash of green in those.
I am not sure how to explain your softness..whether it be dof or movement of your flowers while capturing. But your overall composition is lovely. Thank you again for your outstanding artist notes! Your love of your plants is very evident and such a pleasure to read.

Good eye Becky. Yes...the leaves are waxy...and this most wonderful dark green color that just frames these flowers soooo perfectly...lol...like an artist put these colors together. Took a day off from FAR yesterday....perhaps not so wise. Reviews have piled up. Thank you so much for checking out so many of my marathon posts. You know how much I appreciate it.....and that you always comment on my notes (a huge thank you for THAT!)

You are most welcome for my words...but thank YOU for your amazing flowers!

awwww....thank you Bec. I am a lucky dame to have so many gorgeous flowers. WHEW just finished my thank-you's. This was a marathon ALL the way around I think.
Comment from cleo85
Well, I have to check them out. If they are grow in high temperature [100+] they seem ideal for our bad soil and consistent insect attacks.
I love those colors the orange sometimes unruly changing to yellow works well with the green around and their pearly green spotted center. Your DOF is intriguing as is the sharpness of detail.

A tough little beauty Cleo....also in white, yellow and a new red one but this orange is my favorite. Completely care-free. I know it would grow in your zone as well. Thank you so very much for checking out another of my pieces. I really do appreciate it.

Hi Deborah,
glad they don't need much and is easy for you. :-)
as it sounds you have many rare ones that flourish. your welcome just hoped you did not get a slight blur on the top one but a great shot dead on in the front one.
your welcome. :-)
always,
ron
-
I agree Ron. Top one could have been sharper but it was sixth post in three days so I just went w/ it and lol...glad to be done!
-
Hi Deborah,
yes but the camera had another mind focusing on the front one.
glad you got your 6 out. as I had a wedding on my birthday as it was funny singing happy birthday to 4 of us, but some dancing had my legs and nerve burning yesterday as I try to heal from that and hope to get mine up tomorrow as I have a better program but need to learn and get one part going but waiting on a tech. e-mail.
I bet you are as I will be as I think they said they should be the same theme.
wishing you a good night. :-)
always,
ron
-
So you are also a Christmas baby Ron? when?? Me too. Dec. 20th and I sincerely hope you feel better by tomorrow.
-
yes the 30th as I do have a cousin in new foundland born on Christmas named noel.
as my twin dragged me out for the wedding as I took pictures for the family and had wedding cake as they did not slice the birthday cake 4 of us blew out.
Happy Belated Birthday, I hope you had fun. as I did but paid for it.
yes it takes a few days after the burn to go away as it was the 4th time in 2 months 6 vertebrae, as I hope it helps.
wishing you a good night.
always,
ron
-
Belated Happy Birthday to you too Ron and we have more in common. You are a twin. I had twins...lol
-
thank you Deb.
it must be a hand full. as I was a id triplet as the healthiest one died 25 hours but made the paper in isolates as another brother is 2 months 1 week as we are the same age and raze him so 4 in a little over 9 months so we where a handful.
I hope your twins are doing ok and close to looks and thinking as me and my twin are close to 85% the same but I'm taller. :-)
wishing you a good night.:-)
always,
ron
Comment from Mama Mia1
Love the flowers, love the name and not to mention that they are care free. I like everything about them. They are gorgeous to look at but you did not mention the aroma. Is there a special scent to this flower?

LOL...I LOVE it Mam-M. I can tell you read my artist's notes b/c I always mention the aroma. This little beauty does not have a fragrance....one of the few of my flowers that does not smell wonderful...simply doesn't smell at all! You are a sweetie for checking it out and giving it such a nice review. I really do appreciate it. Thanks so much Mam-M.

You are most welcome.
Comment from PhotobySamSanchez
I love the color and yes the contrast of the orange against the green. The foreground and center of the shot is focused very well and provides great detail. If I would have liked the focus to have been sharp on the top petal as well. It does not take away from the shot but would have taken it to perfection. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

I would have as well Sam and may have tried to find a better photo of Mango Tango but for this challenge of Tom's...LOL. I typically post one shot a week so six in three days has been a real challenge as far as I'm concerned and by the end of today I just wanted to get #6 up and posted....and relax. So I agree but I appreciate your generosity in rating it. Thanks so much for checking it out!!

I know what you mean. I'm at six and done. I admire your skill and wonderful eye for beauty. I'm a fan.

awww...thank you so much for that Sam and good for you for getting the six done too. I'll check out your page....but..lol..I'm afraid it'll be tomorrow.
