[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This flower was named after a French sea captain, Louis Antoine de Bougainvillea, who discovered the plant in Brazil in 1768. The Indonesians call it as "bunga kertas" meaning "paper flower" because the bracts are thin and papery.

I love that flower! Had one last summer, but unfortunately I "killed" that beauty.
Thanks for sharing this great macro,

HI RATNA.

It's the first time that I visit your gallery and am totally fascinated by the excellent work that you present to us. I love each of your pictures and I could not choose one that I like most. Maybe this one :) because I love this flower!

All my Congratulations and i can't wait to discover more of your work!

Luci

Merveilleuse photo, bon contraste, jolies couleurs bon cadrage

Ratna:
It is difficult to make a nice image out of flowers, especially this one. Although a bit too centered, your composition is good, but the image is a bit soft. Did you use a tripod? Did you sharpen before posting?

Distracting are the highlights in the background, they take the viewer's eye away from the subject.

I hope my comments will be useful to you.

Daniel
