Comment from Kathy Banich


This is so interesting and I really appreciate the notes. Yes, as I take a closer look, I can see the white / albino leaves. Thanks Annie - I don't believe I've ever seen a bougainvillea.

Your presentation is most aesthetically pleasing with the strong contrast between the subject and the black background. As though the subject is on a stage with theatrical lights, the bougainvillea stand's out in a glorious way.

The image itself is tack sharp with a nice dof to allow clear detail throughout the plant.

Very Pretty!

I am such an ignoramus when it comes time to flowers so I am glad you pointed out the structure of the plant. Otherwise I would have thought the light colored "leaves" would have been part of the flowers. Your processing by darkening the background really helps the plant stand out. Beautiful Anne!

Comment from Ray Gordon


Annie, These Bougainvillea are so beautiful. They are like Poinsettias where the top leaves gives color to the plant and the flowers are small. This is a very nice presentation and your kind explanation will help many to understand. Ray

Such a dainty flower and you have really showcased this bougainvillea in a magnified version showing its tiny white stamens prominently. The presentation is beautiful with darkened negative space all around and those leaves really framed the white blossoms. Great focus, angle, lighting and framing. A lovely scene, Annie.

This a good shot with excellent educational narrative. The lighting and colors are excellent and with a darkened background that shows the bracts and flowers well.

Comment from alaskapat


When I first opened this I thought the large white leaves were petals , I must say that this is an intriguing plant with the bracts in an off white and the tiny and delicate flowers in the white . Well photographed with good focus, this image is clear and your exposure is perfect allowing the natural tones. The black background works well to emphasize this lovely and interesting plant.
Well composed and presented!
