Bougainvillea

I received this very interesting flower,Bougainvillea,that now has

just 30cm high but hope to be next years a nice big one.To have a

green bg I set the flower in the garden between California puppies

flowers and leaves.This is the result hope you like this.

A wonderful natural...dress.

Hi Radu, beautifully composed and captured, great lighting, details and complimentary background! Best wishes. Sarah.

Radu,

This image is very special for the following reason. Most pictures of bougainvillea are shot as an entire shrub with multiple flowers (there are a few in my folder as well). However individual flower can be interesting too, as you have shown here. Such intricate details captured along with a beautiful DOF. Next time I see a bougainvillea flower, I will remember to look closely.

Hi Radu,

  Beautiful image with amazing colors, details & background.  Take care, Patsy

This looks like an illustration right out of a fairy story. Those could be little woodland elves tucked under the covers of their flower, sleeping soundly.

Discovering a little treasure in the garden! Nice capture!

Beautiful colour and clarity, Radu!

Beautifully done!!!!   AJ

This is such a beautiful flower. At one of our Garden Centres, they have then in about 5 different colours. I recall that they grow profusely in the Dominican Republic and I think many other tropical places.  The colour of yours is so rich and one of my favorites. The detail you achieved in this shot is excellent Radu. Here in Canada I am pretty sure we have to bring them indoors during the Winter and replant outside in the Spring. The quality of light is so beautiful! (I'm sorry I am a bit behind on PN - will try to comment on your other beautiful postings as well :) Gail

Stunning detail and color
