Faux Too

Sony A77

Minolta 200mm macro

ISO 200, 1/20 @ f11

Decided to work over our Faux BoP. Unlike the real thing this plant blooms continuously and seems to really thrive in the heat. I guess that's why it is considered a tropicalangel. All comments welcome. >=))>

I really like the colors, the orange against green. Very nice detail and sharpness. I wish the one part of the flower was all orange rather then the white.

The bold orange contrasts beautifully against the green, Bill.  I like the comp and dof. Very attractive image of your Faux BoP.

Wonderful comp that highlights the shapes and colors most of all, Bill.  I am not familiar with the type of flower, butI really like this interpretation of it!

What an interesting plant - never seen one before !  I like the composition, Bill, there's a nice rhythm to it.

Bill, you've got both some amazingly strong colors and great eye movement in this view.  Very well seen and presented.
