What lovely colours in this excellent close up of the beautiful bougainvillea. I like the angle you used for this, filling the frame.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. I like how the sun catches on just some of the petals. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Thanks Sue - I actually just reloaded the original after consultation with Beny (Photobeat) he thought it was a little dark so checked the original on Facebook for me and suggested that was better as you can feel the sun coming through. Hope you still like it :) Mary

Very fine lighting brings out the rich colors of the flowers as well as the leaves. I like the cropping and composition of this one.
