another photo of a hibiscus flower...
as i mentioned before in the previous hibiscus photo note, in egypt we dry it, and either soak it or boil it in water, to make a very tasty drink/beverage, which can be drank hot or cold...
and its very healthy for ppl with boold presure problems btw.
note: if u soak it it decreases blood presure, if u boil it it increases blood presure
pretty cool, isnt it?! =)

PP: bluring effect, focal B&W effect and slightly increased color saturation

hope you like it... =)
Any crituques, comments, suggestions are more than welcome, and will be very useful, as im only a beginer

let me know what u think
Thanx for passin by =)

Suhailah,

First of all, thanks for more than welcoming comments, suggestions and critiques.

Sorry, this photo doesn't do it for me.
It's too small.
It's hazy looking.
It's too centered.
The selective color choice doesn't appeal to my eye.

I think you could post this at 800x550 and get better results.
I think you could add some contrast and improve it's visibility.
You could crop it to make it slightly off centered.
You could desaturate the green leaf in front that's sofly colored to give the flower some depth.

Overall, this photo has good notes and promise. Keep up the effort and the rewards will come.
