Folks,

This one is from the weekend again. This particular flower is that of a tree, havent got a clue on its name. It hangs from inside the umbrella of the tree and for me it was an upward looking shot. The light inside was low.

7D, 70-200F4L, 7.1, 1/40 at 500 ISO. Tripod

Thanks NPN for your support

Balan:
Nature has limitless ways creating forms. This flower has very unusual design for sure. I like how you incorporate lens flare into many of your composition.

Unique flower find, Balan. I really like all the curves in the flower and the angled comp. Nice vivid colors in the flower and also the background. Like the lighting in this with the bokeh in the background.

Interesting and attractive image, Balan. I like the rich colors and interesting shapes, including the lens flare.

Very stark and beautiful color contrasts, Balan. A splendid photo of a splendid flower that I see for the first time.
Take care.

Wonderful colors, nice bokeh of the light behind, and a fascinating bloom. Very well done.

Balan: Most excellent. I like the BG bokeh especially and your plane of focus management. I would like it better without the party crasher. Nicely seen and captured. >=))>
