Wishbone Bush

by Eirini Pajak

Gallery: FloraPosted April 5, 2013182 views13 comments
Stack of 57.

These are night bloomers and it was just getting ready to wilt from the morning sun. I held it up a little higher from the bush with a plamp. The flower is about 1/2" in diameter.

Does it look too wilted already?

Comments & criticisms welcome.

IMO, this is the best I have seen from you. Just excellent! and it doesn't look the least wilted. :toast:

This works really well for me Eirini. I like the BG and the flower is beautiful. The bloom does not look too wilted to me.

Super portrait of these wildflowers. Good use of the background again, too. I like the detail showing the hairs as well. Very well done.

Excellent light, colors, BG, and details Eirini.
Wilted? If wilted at all, it's just that tiny bit that adds character..
And who can resist a flower with character? :wink:
Congrats on the WP :toast:
