Good DOF and great colors. Its cousin in the background is a nice touch even if they overlap.
Ray: Thanks, Martin.
Yes...I like the cousin there, too, as it gives the image a lot more feeling of depth.
You made my day. Very beautiful. I happen to have a buch of these in orange in a vase right now, but this image of the red/yellow one is just breathtaking. Great job !!!
Ray: Thank you, Consuela...you are very kind.
Ohhhh, I think I saw these on Magnetic Island, Ray! Is that possible? They look like little clumps of bananas growing.
Ray: Entirely possible that these tropical flowers grow on Magnetic Island, I would say, Ginnie.
The flowers do look a bit like bananas, but not at all like banana flowers.
My first thoughts were as Ginnie's, no not that I had seen them on Magnetic Island, that they were like bananas
Love the shot
Ray: I am glad you like it, Tracy.
I didn't know you had visited Magnetic Island. [grin]
They look like an imaginated creation, but not real flowers ... They are beautiful and I love the colours !!!
Ray: That is an interesting comment, Ann. I think you are correct in suggesting they do not look like natural flowers...a sense I often get when looking at tropical blooms.
Superb colours Ray. Did you noticed that bananas were growing there?
Ray: Ha Ha. Some parts of the flowers are certainly the right shape and colour to suggest bananas, Richard. Banana flowers, however, do not look anything like this...see http://www.all-my-world.com/shortwalk%20book/slides/walk19a%2030march2008.html
amazing!!! the colors and the sharpness are great! I love this shot.
Ray: Thank you for your kind comment, Arash.
The little bits of the flower look like tiny bananas, did you notice that?
It's gorgeous, but I've no idea what sort of flower it is.
Ray: Thanks, Ellie.
I do not know what it is called, either, but will try to find out. Banana flowers, incidently, look like this... http://www.all-my-world.com/shortwalk%20book/slides/walk19a%2030march2008.html
A dof to die for - they would have said in fashion world. Excellent.
Ray: Thank you, Louis.
"Macro" outcome from a 100-400mm L IS USM lens. I am really enjoying this bazooka now that I have come to realise how versatile it can be.
A likey Ray ! a likey again...
Ray: This is a very flattering remark, Zebigleb.
