[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I am not sure of the flower name unfortunately. This was taken at the southern part of the Kruger National Park, just near the Crocodile River Bridge. I saw the backlighting and decided to snap it to share.

Hope you like it

lovely contrast, wonderful macro!

I like the balance achieved in this. The light and colour are very good. I would clone out that bit of green in the top left. It looks like a poinsettia, a plant grown in greenhouses commercially in Canada for Christmas. A striking shot with the bg.

Gorgeous - the dead one turned yellow makes a perfect contrast.

it is the Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima), very vibrant, we have them as part of the christmas decorations now= only inside...

This is one sharp capture. Natural light work wonders here...backlight. Well seen, composed and captured.

Hi Tim,

Great photo with fantastic colours! Nice contrast with the dark background. I like how the sun lighting gives the leaves a transparent look.
Very well done!
