Beautiful flowers with more buds soon to open. When all open and clustered that picure would be almost too much. This is a perfect catch of open and buds. I can see blurred background of more flowers. The only thing that jumps at me is the bit intense light that is washing out the color a bit. Good luck.

These flowers have such a lovely colored petals with a pretty accent in the center. I like how you framed it an angle which provides the best view of all the petals.

These are such beautiful and interesting blossoms , I like the red petals with the yellow center detail and I am happy to see the buds in this view, this gives a good sense of how the spicy jatopha grows, this is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is mostly good in this bright sunlight, there are a few hot spots, but overall this is well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

This is a wonderful shot of nature. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck in the contest!

nice capture of the flower and nice position of it in the frame, but the red color is too saturated and the light is too hash

try to reduce the brightness, it may make the details on the flower show better

thanks for sharing

    Thank you for your kind review and critique. I had to photograph in bright light since the tree is in a Botanical Garden. I already reduced the brightness, but the direct light washed the colors out. I did not saturate the colors. Desaturation does not work because I lose detail.

Very good entry for the contest. Lovely close up of this pretty bloom on the shrub - I like that the flowers are in different stages of development from bud to full flower. Very good lighting and focus. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

A beautiful image. The flower is shown in fine detail and the colors are superb. I like the composition although the background is a bit busy. Best of luck in the contest.

What a beautiful flower and a great photograph for this contest! The dark pink is really eye catching and makes the flower stand out against the green background. Good luck in the contest!

A beautiful close up of this beautiful deep shocking pink Jatopha integerrima. Two open flowers & five buds around the nearest one it 's face to the sun that lights up it's stamens laden with golden pollen. The flowers framed by their green foliage.
Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
