Beauty in the morning
This beautiful hibiscus was a large bloom when I first saw it the previous afternoon. In the morning it's beauty unfolded.

commented over 1 year agoI had to shoot this close. The sunlight kept messing up a shot from farther away. I did like the sunlight effect after I got it on the computer. Again - thank goodness for SD cards.

commented over 1 year agoJoe, I gave this a "dig it" before the voting part of this contest ended but when it came up as a banner thought I'd come back a tell you just how much I like it. REALLY great color and DOF. Just an all around nice shot that I know will look great framed and mounted. Very nice job!
Joe Goble
commented over 1 year agoThank you David. Coming from you that is quite a compliment. I've never had any luck with flowers before. I saw a bud in my mother-in-law's year last Friday afternoon and wanted to see what if looked like in the morning. The photo does not do it justice.
