Hi Nancy, I love the two Golden / yellow hibiscus and the way they are placed within the frame.
The two beautiful flowers are well photographed with spot on focus, this image is clear, exposure is perfect, the colors and tones appear natural.
Your use of mixed media has produced such a soft and lovely background .the hibiscus blooms come forward allowing such a good view of them.
Well composed and presented! Your poem is wonderful too!

The Hibiscus is impressive. The golden glow of the blossoms looks like sunlight. Your creation illustrates your poem perfectly. The sophisticated lighting emphasizes the blossoms. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and appropriately treated with mixed media. I appreciate the beauty of color and light and the refinement of detail and textures. The flowers are excellently placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

an excellent close up capture of these two large hibiscus rosa-sinensis; I like the yellow color with some red in the center; I grow similar ones in my garden;

Sure love your mixed media flowers, Nancy. This is another. The juxtaposition of the blooms makes for am artistic arrangement. Deftly applied post processing is delicate and enhances the piece. Great job!

Not a huge fan of flowers but this one really stands out from the crowd. Like the surreal background, it really makes the blooms pop off the screen. Also, the details on the flowers is superb with just the right amount of light.

Comment from liseworks


Interesting view, but I prefer to have had the original background, It looks like its been glued on something else, so to me its like fake?, The flowers themselves are great but the background throws me off, thats just my opinion

    You totally have the right to express what you feel! :o) The background is the original but it's blurred with a slight touch of the radial filter. I think I know what you mean though. If it had just been blurred you would have accepted it more. What you feel is a guide to what I create! Thanks for sharing what you thought! :o) Nancy

    In case you didn't see the note I wrote sometime before. I wanted you to know that on Memorial Day weekend, when I was at my brothers. I saw the "Colorful Collaboration" video for the first time. It was absolutely amazing! Mark, You created something really special! I'm still clapping my hands and jumping up and down! WhaaaaHoooo!..............
    Glad you liked the start of the poem I'm writing about Fred's World Travels! When I'm finished I'm not only going to send you the poem I'm also going to let you know the images I used to inspire me, from Fred's portfolio. I made sure I had the dates Fred posted them, so you can easily find them.You can use them or find another there that's similar. Because it was such a long process for my computer I didn't travel thru the whole portfolio. ......When YOU'RE done I KNOW the video is going to be COOL!!!!
    By the way...Thank you for the great review!!! :o) Nancy

Comment from Artistsushma


Hibiscus is one of my favourite flowers and my garden has so many of these. The yellow hibiscus flowers clicked by you have brought forth their fragile beauty so nicely. The tender petals and the equally tender stem with orange pollen are so soothing to the senses. No wonder, you ended up composing a poem !! Thanks for this brilliant share

    Hi Artistsushma, I agree with you about how lovely the hibiscus flower is. It definitely has a fragile and delicate look to it. I love the pink and reddish shades. Thank you for the lovely review! :o) Nancy
