Comment from Darth Chelios
This is a cooler bougainvillea plant. I like how the flowers are bunched together. It's unlike bougainvilleas to bunch like a bouquet. Great find and capture!

My favorite color on such a striking flower! Lovely pink and subtle yellow tones create a visual feast for the eyes. I really like the darkened background as it makes the colorful flower op even more.

Comment from AndreThreeThou
I like the close up photo of these small flowers, and seeing this cluster up close I can appreciate the sharp textures of all these flowers, and how the gradation of color smooths out that sharpness, revealing lots of pretty colors to behold.

A fantastic looking bougainvillea. They are an extraordinary pink color and are more full of bracts than I have ever seen. Good luck in the contest.

A beautiful picture of these gold centred pink Bougainvillea the flowers very close to one another with the light shining down from above so they glow out from the dark background. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Haven't seen a double bougainvillea very different - like the full frame and the pale pink color tones. Good white balance and exposure. Nice focus.

A very good entry into the competition posted here! Your very full, almost macro style composition provides us with an enjoyable view of your gorgeous blooms. Not to sure about what you mean by "double"? Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

Comment from Brendaartwork18
This is a beaut of a bloom. Caught very well good angle showing petal formation which is unusual and excellent colour capture of shades and details. We have a lot of these bushes and trees on Ilha da Culatra but mostly single blooms I have never seen such a large cluster. Makes it a very interesting take. Good luck in the comp.
