Flowers in our garden - a different view iii

Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 2 April 2009 in Plant & Nature.

Third in the series - final post tomorrow. The original image can be viewed here.
I must say that I was more than happy to see how this came out. I wanted lots of bright, vibrant colour and that's what I got. Taken with the early morning sunlight leaving delicate shadows on the hibiscus petals, the blue sky and the surrounding branches in the background all played their part. For me the light from early morning sun is almost impossible to beat, and it really lights up this scene. Not the most wonderful composition, but for me the colours pop.

All comments, and especially constructive criticism is truly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.

vibrant colour certainly and the contrast between the crisp plant and the abstract expressionist background works beautifully.
