The depth that is created in this image is very appealing. The showcasing of the purple flowers in the foreground is a nice touch to the image. Makes me wish I was there! Haha

I think this is a lovely scene, you have pictured it so well. You for sure had a lovely view from your hotel room, and bougainvillea is framing the distant island in such a lovely way.

Your photo is sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in the foreground flowers. I also think the exposure is spot on.

I like the format you have cropped the photo into, and I think it is a fine balance in the composition. A truly lovely and well taken photo Fred, and with an excellent DOF.

A beautiful scene with the island in the background providing a sense of mystery. The bougainvillea is makes a great foreground. Very nice composition and beautiful colors.

I like how the softness and vibrant color of the bougainvillea create a frame for the island. The hint of sunlight on the clouds is most pleasing. From your postings I surmise this to be a lovely place to visit.

The bougainvillea provide the perfect frame for the mountain in the background which makes this a really great composition. Focus is sharp, details in the flowers is crisp and clear and everything is well defined.

    Better yet. You made it look like a mountain in the distance.

Excellent title - wonderful view point - clear and sharp with perfect camera settings contrast and lighting
the discount of half point is due to your cropping - to cut the flower off where they meet takes a lot away from the beautiful of the picture - it somehow shocks (sorry - I rather would have taken a bit more off the sky and go bit deeper on the flower letting the pink join to really show the mountain as a center of attraction - there is too much heaven in relation to the content - I just tried out to crop the sky down just above the branches then also it becomes a perfect harmonious and well balanced image - try it with your hand - it becomes a super panorama shot

    many thanks regina;
    excellent idea but lower framing would include the roof of the villa with the air conditioning ;

This is a very interesting subject, and I understand your intent to frame the island with the blooming bougainvilleas in the foreground. To my eye, their vibrancy detracts from the clearly seeing island. I would try to darken the flowers and sharpen the island to see if it would result in the island being the focus and the flowers being the frame. Very nice subject nice arrangement I appreciate you sharing it with us.
