p.1 #1 · #344 One done, two to go


Not much time to shoot so I just went down to my garden. Certainly not my best flower pic but the colours were irresistible.

And yes, the pun was intended.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Great job in short time. I like the concave and convex sides of the stamen* filaments as much as the colors.
(*or is the structure on the left the pistil?)

It's not a stamen nor a pistil. It's a bud. Hence the title.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Thank you. While I tried my best to create an interesting composition, the color is indeed the best part. I'm glad that you liked it as much as I do.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Lovely shot, Yakim, my friend! Other have already mentioned the lovely color and so i will, as well. That lovely purple seems to glow and the white flower against it is really striking. Good work!

Warm regards,

Endre

Ah, so two very small flowers against a background of larger ones. Pardon my ignorance, I thought I was looking at the interior of one flower.
Very pretty shot.

It's a Bougainvillea. It's three flowers "merged" into one.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bougainvillea

"The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colors".

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Very colourful Yakim. I have one very similar growing in my garden and flowering right now which is why I recognised it instantly. The bougainvillea flowers in a number of different shades and are quite common over here. Well done.

Thank you Dan. I must admit that I am a bit surprised by the warm welcome. I thought it's only an O.K. pic.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I took this one yesterday. I think it is a bit better from the compositional PoV but the colours are not as striking. What do you think? Should I replace the one in the OP?

TIA.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I agree, compositionally this is good. But, there is just something about the first that grabs you.

Both do, but from different perspectives so neither is a clear winner.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I prefer to first. To me it's color contrast is more striking. The second, although the pink is pleasing, it isn't as strong a graphic to my eyes.

Many thanks for your opinion. The first it is then.
