This is a great entry into the Flower Contest and good luck. A stunning capture of a unique flower Bird of Paradise. The colors are fantastic and the beautiful greenery from the leaves show cases this flower beautifully. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

Nice flower. And yes that is why it is called Bird of Paradise. The top two red petals look like rabbit ears. I like that you kept the large. Leaves. Nice composition. Well framed. Sharp image. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image.

Grace, just a lovely shot of this Bird of Paradise. Colors of this one I've not seen before with that blue. Dynamite!

Your square crop is perfect for this shot.

Well done.

    Thank you very much :) It is cool how it looks like a bird - and it also looks to me like it's on a surf board!

a lovely entry to the flower contest, I am always amazed by these flowers and their unusual shape and bright colours, I like that you have kept the green foliage in the back ground which contrasts nicely with the orange and blue, sharp focus, and the framing really works with the foliage going beyond the frame, nice work, good luck in the contest.
