Wow what a beauty,

Love the shapes and contrasts.

Also love the colors and the square crop.

These plants always make me think that they are not of this earth!

Comment from canon shooter
It sure is a very beautiful and interesting flower. There are so many bright colors! Good work on choosing a good background for it. I think it would be very outstanding if you would place it on a black cloth. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from onyanita
i asked my son yesterday if he had any flowers on his vine to bring here but he only has a few buds at the moment. I love the many layers to this flower and the different colors. His passionfruit flower is very different to yours! the design of each layer is so different too. Your focus and techs are great. Top shot.

Very pretty flower. I've not seen one of these before. I like seeing different and new flowers. The colors in this one are very nice as well as the patterns in the flower. Beautiful photo!

Good choice for showing off the complexity and linear designs of this unusual flower. They're quite unique and hard to see them on the bushes. The color is in this one is very interesting and reproduces well. Amazing detail. Great work!

Lovely and interesting fruit, I love the color.

This is a fruit, it looks like a strange exotic flower of some sorts. Wow... this is passion fruit.

Good clarity, center of interest, presentation, and lighting.

Great capture
Goldie

Thanks Goldie, this is the flower of the vine the fruit are small purple and wrinkled which makes the flower quite amazing as it is so beautiful by comparison.
