Tropic Escape Hibiscus - (enlarge)

Your visits are always welcome and encouraging. So nice to hear from you Mari!

I admire your work, so to hear your kind critique is a plus, many thanks!

Hello!!! I noticed tonite that you have been posting and I have not been noticing, I am so sorry! I hope you are retired and enjoying this time in life! Many thanks for the 'wow', ;-) things are fine, LIFE as we all know it!

warmest regards, Gail

Good capture! Well seen colors, it in focus where it should be!

Also, thank you for stopping by at my site.

Grigoriy.

you both love beauty and love taking images that give us inspiration in that area, thankyou so much for your encouragement.

Sincere thanks, Gail

thankyou for that compliment. Encouragement is always welcome!

Wonderful dreamy image! Diagonal composition works very well, as do the pastels and the peripheral softness.

My sincere thanks Phil for your visit, comments and encouraging support! so very much appreciated.

Gail, what a beautiful creative work! I love the way you have framed with blurring and thus magnifying the details and  hues of hibiscus.

 

well handled colors (not always an easy thing to do)...great presentation Gail...regards....David

You're so right, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this one David, truly appreciate it!!!

I must have missed this one way back when, but if there ever was a rococo image of a flower this is it. Quite outside the usual floral genre picture, this is something really special and unique. Even the blurred framing (which usually is a bridge too far for me) works this time.

thanks so much for those kind and encouraging words expressed. In hind site I would maybe do this again without the blurred frame...but it is truly a beautiful Hibiscus!
