A very nice shot that shows the flowers as well as the leaves of a tree I never get to see. The flowers are ornate and very colorful but the image is quite busy with the leaves all jumbled.

Wow thanks so much for your high rating and words. I have actually re-cropped as a couple of people suggested. There are no berries the buds are yet to open and there are a couple of gum nuts on lower left. The tree was around 15ft high with just a few flowers.

Impressive capture!
An interesting initial impact.
Subtle illumination.
Diffused focusing.
Clarity can still be enhanced.
A closer shot will bring out more interesting details...
Thanks for sharing...
