[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
To make this picture I asked my husband to make a U-turn in the rain and through the open car window I took this picture.
An overview would not have been any good because of the rain and mist on the Robinson Pass.
The whole slope of that mountain was filled with protea's, all of them in the early stages of bloom.
A sight I will always remember.

Good morning Els,

Lovely bright capture, I like the differnet greens. This type of frame also looks good. Its nice that your husband is understanding of your hobby :-)

I would love to see a shot of these flowers when they are out in full too as a comparison.

best regards Helen.

P.S. The woman that still has not cleaned her oven (There now everybody knows) :-)

Did they smell too Els??

Absolute good image! Great DOF and POV!
Colors are vivid and I like your frame.

Cheers girl... still doing good!

Hello Els.
Nice remembering picture.
I had it too, so I bought last summer a little plant like this in Holland, We left it the winter outside, guess what, it starts flowering by now.

Hello Els,
You have captured this image really well the bright colours against the greens are outstanding.
Your presentation is very creative and adds to this fine image.
Regards, Roger.

Hi Els,
Great light and colours in this gorgeous composition. Good focus and very well framed.
TFS and greetings
Aires

Hi Els:
It was worth turning around and thanks to your wonderful & kind hubby...
Beautiful rain-green and nice exposures for Good DOF...
frame it present ti to him:)
David

Regardless of the conditions Els a fine image, a difficult flower to get just right especially this particular colour. I think the framing really does make this one. There are vast flower farms in various parts of Australia producing the protea for the cut flower and export market. TFS,
David
