Description
Captured 11/4/10, within walking distance of my hidebound habitat.
Better viewed full size.
The bottom photo is a different capture and closeup of the middle bloom in the top shoto.
The lovely hibiscus, which includes its several color varieties, has been photographed and posted so many times, especially by Marilyn/beachzz, that I figured I had to show it in a different light, which involved more contrast, light and shadow. So when better than when the sun is hanging low over the horizon on a very clear day.
Be sure to check out the textures in the petals.
Arreviderci, thankx for tuning in, and for any and all complimentary comments and favs.

I love the light yellow color of this one. There are so many colors of Hibiscus, but yellow has always been my favorite.

gorgeous capture with beautiful delicate light streaming through & onto these petals. It's so delicate they almost seem made of silk or something even more fragile. In #1, the leaves behind the blooms have beautiful light playing throughout too; beautiful variations of light & shade. And the second shot is a big spill of an image, with beautiful light & shadow on the main flower. A very inspired duo, with very special hues. The sun does amazing things when it's low on the horizon...this is proof of that. Beautiful work, Harry.

These are absolutely gorgeous on zoom! The lighting is spectacular! The petals look crepe paper thin. The detail of the veins is superb! In the second image it is amazing to see the veins both in the petals with the sun streaming through them and in the shadowed petals. The leaves in the first image are beautifully detailed and lit. I love the crumpled flower in the first image and the way the light shows all the different layers. Stunning images!
